IN HONOR OF TYLER STOLP:
My name is Dawn and I am the proud mother of 2 wonderful children, Tyler (forever 9) and Ashley (9). On January 20th 2004 my son Tyler was diagnosed with a rare form of pediatric cancer called
Neuroblastoma. It was stage 4, the worst as most are with this kind of cancer, and it had spread through out his whole body. For the next 4 years Tyler had endured endless rounds of chemo, hospital stays, surgerys, blood draws,bone marrow transplant, experimental treatments at our "home" hospital and out of state in New York and Vermont, and so much more. On October 19th 2007 Tyler's doctor had gave me the devastating news that there was no more that could be done for Tyler. His blood counts weren't recovering and the chemo was no longer helping. At that time Tyler went on hospice care to keep him as comfortable as possible. On April 9th 2008 in the very early morning hours Tyler's beathing seemed to change so we had a hospice care nurse at the house by 5 am. The nurse had told me that he didn't believe that Tyler would make it through the day. By noon that day I was exhausted, my house was filled with people, and Tyler could no longer be woke up. I layed down with Tyler, held him in my arms, asked him to stay with me for just one more day, and fell asleep holding him. At 2 pm I had woke up and Tyler had already passed away. He was still in my arms, had his hand on my heart, and a smile on his face. He was finally at peace.
So now that you know my story I will tell you exactly why I am sharing this with you. On the second anniversary of Tyler's passing (April 9th, 2 PM) I will be shaving my head to honor Tyler and raise money for a non profit oganization that I fully support, Isaacs foundation. What I like about this foundation is that they raise money strictly for pediatric cancer which is way under funded. So what I ask of you is that you all help me raise as much money as possible for this foundation. Here are the ways you can help:
1) Donate directly to Isaac's Foundation - You can donate online through paypal or you can send a donation directly to the foundation at:
Isaac's Foundation
Tyler Stolp
15412 110th Street
Sauk Centre, MN 56378
2) You can copy and paste this message into an email to as many people as possible to help get this to more people.
3) Word of mouth - tell anyone you know about this.
Please note that if you donate to write a memo of "In honor of Tyler Stolp" so we can track how much is raised and I can let everyone know exactly how much they helped.
We are planning on making a video of my head shaving and posting it on youtube.
Also before I close this I would like to leave you with the web addresses for Tyler's caringbridge www.caringbridge.org/visit/tylerstolp and also Isaac's Foundation www.isaacsfoundation.org.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and also help me in my mission to honor my angel Tyler.
Tyler's proud mom,
Dawn Stolp

We wanted to take this time, to say a big thank you, to Isaac's foundation. Keegan looks adorable in the cute hats that were sent to us! They have kept his head warm this winter while we went back and forth to appointments, and he looked quite stylish! We thank you for your prayers and kind thoughts for our son during the past several months. Keegan is now 10 months old and the doctors have said he can go off treatment and is just being monitored now after 4 cycles of chemo. We are praying for continued healing for him! It's so good to know that there are people out there who care about what you are going through and who are praying for your child. Again, my family and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for thinking of us and praying for our son Keegan.
Thank you,
Mahala Dixson
