PORTLAND, Ore. — A diagnosis of childhood cancer is a nightmare for any family. The Sam Day Foundation is fighting to fund treatments for some of the rarest cancers found in kids: brain tumors and sarcomas. The local organization is raising awareness and bringing families together to find healing.

The Teed and Garcia families are connected through their journeys with childhood osteosarcoma. Both have boys who were misdiagnosed before having to make a life-altering decision to save their lives.
