**Update** April 21, 2021 – Brain Cancer Patient Gets Parade for 4th Birthday: https://www.cranberryeagle.com/2021/04/21/built-ford-tough/

The Julie Bryant Foundation has been helping Ford Bartle and the Bartle family. The two-year-old was diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma in August 2019. Ford is the 3rd of 5 children of parents Bobby & Carly Bartle.

Neuroblastoma is a cancer often found in the adrenal glands and can develop in the stomach, chest, neck, pelvis and bones. Children ages five or younger are most commonly affected.

In Ford’s case, it developed in his stomach and has spread to his bones. But the family is optimistic and they have had great support from the community.

The Julie Bryant Foundation helped donated $2,000 in food gift cards to help feed the family, especially while mom, dad & Ford travel to New York’s Sloan Kettering Hospital for treatments. You can donate to Julie’s foundation by clicking on the green Donate Today button on the Home page: https://juliebryant.wpengine.com/ and Julie will continue to help the Bartle family.

A GoFundMe page has also been set up for anyone who would like to make additional donations. https://www.gofundme.com/f/ford-tough.
