About Evan
I'm 12-years-old and in the 7th grade at St. Agnes School. I'm the only kid in my class with a sister-in-law. My older brother is named Nathan and he has four daughters. My other brother Joshua is in heaven now, but he's always close in our hearts. Josh has one son. So, I'm Uncle Evan! My mom and dad are older than the other parents at school, which means this is probably the last year they will be able to help me with math. I have a Chocolate Labrador named Hershey that makes us all smile.
I love to read, sometimes a couple books at once. I play video games, and board games (I beat my Dad at "Life" on a regular basis). I'm the "Whack Ball" champion of the world. I have an orange belt in Karate and I ran Cross Country last year. I love Paintball too and can't wait to play again. I just got contact lenses right before my last birthday.
One June 22, 2008 I found out that the reason my head was hurting so much is because I have Rhabdomyosarcoma. That means cancer. I had to have 28 radiation treatments. It was really scary and very hard to get through. Some days I didn't think I would be able to do it. But I did it. I also have to have 52 weeks of chemotherapy. It makes me sick. The only good thing about being in the hospital all the time (besides the nice nurses) is playing the Wii.
I told my mom and dad that I wish I could turn back the clock and still be 10, so then I wouldn't be sick. I'm afraid of the things that are going to make me better.
