Hi, I’m Liam—and today, I turn three years old. But this birthday feels like something far bigger than getting older. It feels magical, almost unbelievable, like a dream my family and I whispered into the world over and over again. At an age when most kids are learning their favorite colors or discovering new games, I was learning how to be brave. I spent my earliest years fighting a battle too heavy for someone so small, yet here I stand today—stronger, brighter, and ready to celebrate life itself.

My journey wasn’t easy. I faced 49 rounds of chemotherapy, each one demanding strength I didn’t know I had. There were days when I felt tired, days when the hospital became my second home, and days when my tiny heart carried more courage than anyone expected of a three-year-old. But I kept fighting. With every session, every needle, every moment of fear, I held on. And today, with happy tears in my family’s eyes, I can finally say the words we prayed for: I WON.

This incredible victory wasn’t mine alone. The pediatric oncology teams who cared for me became heroes in my story—gentle hands, warm smiles, and voices filled with hope guiding me through every treatment. Their dedication and expertise helped turn frightening days into manageable ones. Around the world, people supported my journey through global medical care, ensuring I had access to the treatments, technology, and compassion that gave me the chance to keep fighting. And the blessing of insurance support made it possible for my family to focus on my healing, not the overwhelming weight of medical worries.

Through it all, my family stood by my side with hearts full of love. They held me close when I was scared, celebrated every tiny step forward, and stayed strong even when their voices trembled. Their prayers filled every hospital room, and their hope pulled me through the darkest nights. Together, we imagined this day—my Final Chemo Session—a day that once felt so far away, yet now shines brighter than any birthday candle.

And now, as I sit surrounded by balloons, laughter, and the warm embrace of everyone who loves me, I feel something powerful: freedom. Today, I get to blow out my candles not just to celebrate turning three, but to celebrate living. To celebrate healing. To celebrate a future that finally feels full of light, joy, and endless possibilities. My name is Liam, and today, I celebrate life itself—strong, happy, and beautifully cancer-free.
