Gavin Byrnes Fund

Gavin is our seven year old child who has been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (T-cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma). He was diagnosed on March 16th, 2010 at Children’s Hospital, Washington D.C. His prognosis is good but he will undergo aggressive treatment for the next eight months followed by monthly treatments for another twenty months. After that, there will be a wait time of about five years to find out if the cancer has cleared.

Gavin is loved as a son, brother, grandson, great grandson, nephew, cousin and friend to many. Until you are faced with such a difficult situation, it is hard to understand how this can affect a family. Gavin went from being a healthy, vibrant seven year old who loved transformers and reptiles to a diagnosis of cancer and barely having the energy to walk outside. His treatments have devastated Gavin as well as members of the family both physically and emotionally. Our world has been turned upside down.

We are asking for donations to help cover expenses related to his treatment. This has been a very trying time for the family and any donation will be greatly appreciated, no matter how small. Donations can be made in the name of Gavin Byrnes and are tax deductible (receipt will be provided).
