This is our sweet Brodie Curtis. He is 2 years old and has a BIG fight on his hands.
Brodie has Neurofibromatosis (NF) which is a disorder of the nervous system that affects the growth and development of nerve cell tissue. It can also cause tumors to grow on the nerve cells. Recently we learned that Brodie has tumors in his brain, brain stem and spinal cord. The tumors are inoperable because of their locations.
Brodie has begun chemotherapy to try to reduce these tumors. They are currently affecting the nerves in his face and neck.
Brodie has a 5 year old sister who adores him and his parents are getting him the very best treatment available at Duke. Jessie, his mom is an Registered Nurse and is taking family medical leave to be with Brodie. Cameron, his Dad works as an auto mechanic. They are a Christian family who welcomes all the prayers, love and support we can provide.
Brodie's family and friends are sponsoring a fundraiser at 220 Seafood in Henderson, NC on July 20, 2015. They are selling fish plates for $7 each. All proceeds go to Brodie's direct care and medical bills. For more information, email brodiesbuddies220fundraiser@yahoo.com.
Also, Brodie's Buddies Superhero 5K will be on Saturday, October 3, 2015 starting at 9am. For more information on this, visit http://www.brodiesbuddies5k.com.
You can follow Brodie on Facebook on his Brodie's Buddies page.
May GOD bless Brodie and his doctors and comfort his parents and sister as Brodie begins this difficult journey.
Thank You For Your Generosity.
Jessica Curtis, RN (Brodie's Mom)
