Three-year-old Tyler was diagnosed with Avelar rhabdomyosarcoma in 2016. 

His mom says that over the past several months since Tyler was diagnosed he has been through 4 surgeries, 4 weeks of being put to sleep everyday for radiation, 10 inpatient stays away from home, constant chemotherapy infusions and countless pokes and pinches. She says “all that is just part of the medical side of what this 3 year old has endured. Most people say they cant imagine having to watch their children do any of those things much less all of them. Something most people dont realize is none of that is the scary part, there is no fear in this world that can compare to what it feels like as parent to not be able to make everything better and to know that your childs gift of God.”

Tyler likes to watch cartoons – anything on Nick Jr. or Disney Jr.! He like crafts, to play board games and video games, and he plays tee ball with his big brothers and sisters! Tyler also loves going outside to the park or visiting new fun places. We heard Tyler has a huge imagination and he isnt afraid of much. 

Tyler is such an amazing and strong little boy and we at the Jessie Rees Foundation are so proud of his NEGU spirit!!!

His mom Cassie says, “He is the funniest 3 year old Ive ever met, he will do just about anything to make someone smile . Tyler is the type of kid that is happy even when he has every reason to be sad. He is such a special little boy that is going to go far in life.”
