Remission Weekend Day 2!
We had an incredible weekend celebrating Lauren’s fourth year in remission from cancer. As a family, we filled it with non-stop fun. Today we woke up to beautiful views of the Statue of Liberty. We ate cookies and milk for breakfast before we headed out to the ferry to bring us to Liberty Island. Once […]
Remission Weekend Day 1!
Our first day of Lauren’s remission weekend was fun filed. We started off with “bring your Daddy to dance day”. Lauren was able to show off her newly learned dance skills and had her Dad participate as well (he nearly threw his back out trying to pirouette 🤣). Next we were off to New York […]
Marvel Universe Live!
We’d like to send a HUGE THANK YOU to our friends at Nordic Stove & Fireplace Center, Inc. for their donation of tickets to see Marvel Universe Live! Four LivFree families were able to head down to Webster Bank arena and catch the show. By the smiles, we know they had a blast!!
Stick It to Cancer Weekend
Yesterday was extra special for us. The Bridgeport Sound Tigers wore gold jerseys and raised over $18,000 to support childhood cancer awareness with their “stick it to cancer” weekend. They gave portions of ticket sales and held fundraisers throughout the game to raise fund for us and two other great organizations, Ryan’s Rebels and Infinite […]
Four Years Ago Today
Four years ago, on this day, Katrina and I were sat down in a small room with oncologists and a social worker. We weren’t prepared for what was coming. I mean, how can you be prepared for your world to be shattered? “Your daughter has cancer” or something of the sort was said. I don’t […]
TBT Selfie
I was scrolling through my phone and came across this selfie. It’s a reminder of how crazy our life was when Lauren was getting treatment for her cancer. It’s so hard to imagine a 3 year old taking a selfie while laying in a hospital bed because of cancer, but it’s a reality for some. […]

Childhood Cancer and Family Life
One of the toughest challenges of childhood cancer is navigating your family life. The doctors visits, the sickness, the medicine and stress changes the dynamic drastically. This is why we put so much emphasis on providing a fun experience for everyone in the family. The siblings don’t have the diagnosis but they definitely live with […]

Thank You Make-A-Wish!
Two weeks ago we celebrated Lauren’s 5th birthday at Disney world thanks to the great people at Make-A-Wish Connecticut and Give kids the world. We visited 9 parks in 6 days and walked over 70 miles. I was apprehensive in the beginning about her using her wish to go to Disney. After experiencing it I […]
