His name is Jaidan and he looks like any other adorable 3 year-old boy, playing with cars, trucks and his big brother. But looks can be deceiving. Jaidan has been undergoing treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) since he was 18 months old. When he was diagnosed with blood cancer, it was beyond frightening. My cousin passed away from leukemia, and all I could think of was, 'I'm going to lose my baby.' The doctors explained that for ALL, the prognosis is good. Still when your baby is in pain and can't understand why, you just feel helpless. Jaidan is responding well to treatment, with a little more than a year to go. Thanks to research, we are fortunate. When you think about participating in Team In Training, think about our little boy and what your efforts will mean to us and to hundreds of thousands of others battling blood cancers. - Ericka Richardson, Jaidan's Mom
