 Remembering Cooper
There is a saying that "God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers." How true this was for Cooper O'Brien. he was a brave and strong soldier, but on July 5th, 2014 he lost his 14 month battle against cancer at the young age of 14.
Cooper had a rare form of cancer called Clear Cell Sarcoma. Throughout his fight, Cooper faced each day with a strong, positive attitude. He truly just wanted to be a kid and enjoy life.
There are currently no protocols or treatments for this type of cancer. Rare cancers get the least amount of funding for research or clinical trials, especially for children.
Cooper's family is passionate about bringing awareness and funding for children's Sarcoma research. Please join them in helping others who suffer.
