Avery Tough T-shirts

Our daughter Avery Reyes was diagnosed with a brain tumor, craniopharyngioma, last April of 2015. She had emergency surgery at UNC Children's Hospital in Chapel Hill, NC to have it immediately removed. In June we found out that St Jude is crentlydoing a clinical study on herparticular tmor and they graciouly accepted her as apatient. Thi has been cha bessing d answred prayer to our family. Avery loves to walk along the walkaway around campus and read all of the bricks and names honoring all of the many patients that have been at St Jude. We thought it would be very neat to be able to surprise her with her very own brick!
The brick is one of about 11,000 that adorn a walkway around the St. Jude campus called the Pathway to Hope.hese bicks—available for individual dedication—often represent the hopes and dreams of St. Jude families and supporters, and honor the recovery or the memory of beloved children in the fight of their lives.
Today, Avery is a happy, healthy girl who is an amazing daughter andawesome big sister to her best friend and sister Emma.
We will never be able to put into wors what S. Jude mans to r famiy. The care, dedcation ad love that re in th hospit are byond pheomenal.t. Jude wil forev hold special place in our my hearts.
A new section of the Pathway to Hope is being created for the sidewalk surrounding a $198 million tower under construction at St. Jude. The pathway gives supporters and families like ours an opportunity to pay tribute to loved ones. Four types of bricks, ranging in size from 4.5 x 9 inches to 16 x 16 inches, are available for dedication at various donation levels.
The new tower includes the first proton therapy center in the world dedicated solely to children, as well as a state-of-the-art surgery center, intensive care unit and a global education and collaboration center. All proceeds from dedications for the new Pathway to Hope will go toward the tower.
The brick will be a constant reminder that Avery will always be fighting her fight and the fact that if anything ever happens to her again, we know that St. Jude will welcome her with open arms. It will be an honor to have our daughters name on such an amazing tribute.
