Charlie is a vibrant, happy, beautiful baby boy. He likes to rough house with his big brother, Max (3) and spend time with his mom and dad (Joel and Abby).
Not long ago, Charlie began exhibiting troubling symptoms that culminated in a care flight to a children's hospital in South Dakota.
It turns out that Charlie has cancer of the brain and spine. Charlie and his family are in for the fight of their lives. This type of cancer is aggressive and extremely dangerous.
That said, Charlie and his family are not giving up. His care team has a plan and they're hitting this devil with everything they've got.
That's where we come in. It's easy to feel helpless at times like this, but we're not going to give up, either.
Although Charlie's family has health insurance, fighting this illness will create significant financial hardship for them now and into the future.
