Hazard Grind for Life event

Mason is a ten-year-old boy diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma in March 2008. Since that time he has had some remission but has also relapsed twice and suffered a coma caused by one of the chemo drugs. He also suffered kidney damage at that same time which almost kept him from receiving his Bone Marrow Transplant. Thanks be to God, Amy and Travis were directed to Duke Children’s Hospital in Durham and to Dr. Martin, who gladly took on Mason's case.

His Bone Marrow Transplant took place Jan 08/2009 with his little brother Gavin, as his perfectly matching donor. Going through transplant was rough on Mason; it is on all these precious children. He made it through and was discharged to a local apartment waiting that magical 100th day. Sadly, more cancer cells were found in his central nervous system at approximately Day 53. The family was devastated and frankly the doctors didn't know what to do, but after regrouping, this amazing family pulled up their bootstraps and is now forging ahead with THE NEW PLAN, put together by Dr. Martin and colleagues. The McLeod family mission statement… Save Mason, No giving up allowed. God is with us, we know this. So many people are praying for Mason, we know this as well. Mason's wish is simple, he wants to go home and just be a normal boy again.
