Happy Birthday Travis! We NEGU For You!
On October 4, Travis will be 12 years old! And we are so honored to use this special day to honor Travis as a NEGU Kid and to shower him with lots of birthday wishes, special prayers and lots of NEGU encouragement!
Travis is an amazing young man with a heart of gold! Travis is a passionate advocate for childhood cancer awareness and a special friend to many kids fighting cancer like him. When in clinic for his own treatments, Travis is known for playing with the younger kids and helping to keep the them from being scared. Travis knows that he would like to help kids fighting cancer when he grows up and has his heart set on becoming a pediatric neuro-oncologist and researcher when he grows up. He plans to attend University of Penn Med School so he can intern at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Despite the struggles Travis has faced in fighting an inoperable brain tumor, he continues to keep his “million dollar” smile bright, his head up and his eyes on his future. One day in treatment, Travis leaned over to his mom and said, “Mom, don’t worry about me, I’m not going to die. I have too much to do. I have a destiny. No kid should go through this and I have to help make it stop.”
Knowing that he has a mission to bring awareness to childhood cancer and to fight for a cure, Travis is using his special birthday celebration to make a difference. In lieu of gifts, Travis has asked that his family and friends join him in donating to the childhood cancer charities that mean so much to him.
Team NEGU, please join us in sending Travis lots of special birthday wishes and NEGU encouragement! Happy ‘Very Special’ Birthday to you Travis! We will Never Ever Give Up for you and are so looking forward to seeing all the wonderful things to come for you. You can visit Travis at
