Stories of inspiration and hope. We salute and are humbled by the bravery displayed by little people in the face of pain and uncertainty. We celebrate the small (and big!) victories along the way.

Chemoterapie is klaar!

Ons is saam met Pieter en sy gesin verheug en dankbaar oor die sukses van 36 maande se chemoterapie. Dit was 'n lang pad! Nou is dit tyd om net weer seuntjie te wees.

Taking everything with a smile

Braam never arrives without a smile. The friendliest little guy around, despite having had major (successful) surgeries in his first year of life, including an operation to repair a tracheosophageal fistula (an abnormal connection between his swallowing pipe and main air pipe).

A new heart in July

An amazing story. Phalo successfully received a heart transplant on Monday, July 18, 2016. He is doing well, as you can see! It has been a privilege to have been involved in his care at times along the way.

Lelanie ook klaar met chemo!

So lekker om so 'n mooi glimlag te sien! Lelanie se 24 maande van chemoterapie is onlangs voltooi. Ons is saam met haar gesin dankbaar en opgewonde oor die nuwe fase in hulle lewe wat nou voorlê. Hierdie plaasmeisie is bang vir min. 

"If it looks good, eat it."

Little Christopher has definitively answered all questions asked shortly after birth regarding his future ability to swallow normally with the words of Andrew Zimmern, presenter of the popular show Bizarre Foods America on Travel Channel. Having been born with an abnormal connection between his swallowing pipe and main air pipe, he is certainly making up well for time lost shortly after birth when he was unable and not allowed to even have milk!

Chemoterapie nie vir sissies nie

Na 6 maande van intense chemoterapie by Tygerberg Hospitaal en hopeloos te veel naalde, is ons saam met die gesin bly om 'n groot mylpaal te vier : Pieter se leukemie is in remissie! Hierdie meester LEGO-bouer van Villiersdorp is besig om die stryd te wen in tipiese LEGO styl : stukkie vir stukkie, dag vir dag.
