Our Mission

Finn's Fighters is committed to increasing awareness of pediatric cancer and supporting families facing medical crisis in the Tampa Bay area.

Our Story

Finn was your average, fun loving five year old. He loved music, dancing, rough housing with his 6 year old brother, Declan, and all things LEGO.

It was a random day that he said his back was hurting a little. We thought he had hit it on something, but no bruise, so we called the pediatrician. He suggested Motrin and to call back in a few days if it didn’t feel better.

Fast forward a few days, still hurting, only now he could barely sit in a car seat without wincing in pain. It was the first day of Kindergarten and I was able to get an appointment with the pediatrician. He sent us for x-rays, which came back normal. By Tuesday toward the end of school the director called to say he wasn’t feeling well and was shaky on his feet. Later that evening he couldn’t walk well so we took him to the emergency room...

Relapse

October 2, 2019

The alarm went off at 5:30, although I don’t know why I even set it; I was up hours earlier staring at the dark ceiling with Finn snuggled against me. Today is the day, the beginning of round two of Finns fight against Ewing sarcoma, a rare soft tissue or bone cancer. Our relapse technically […]
