Bio
Henry Erbeck is 7 years old. He was diagnosed with a craniopharyngioma just after his 5th birthday (12/2017). He has underwent 2 brain surgeries, 18 months of at home once-a-week chemo shots, and last summer underwent 6 weeks of radiation. So far his tumor has only reacted minimally to treatment. We are hopeful that his MRI at the end of this month with show some shrinkage in the tumor.

Henry's side effects include Adrenal Insufficiency, lack of growth hormone, hypothyroidism, blind in his left eye, and ADHD, but you wouldn't know it from looking at him! This teeny tiny little guy lights up any room with his happiness and silliness. His red glasses make him easily recognizable in any crowd! He is full of love and hugs and kisses and can make anyone feel like a million bucks!
