THE JAY DAWSON FAMILY

Hello, we are the Dawson family. Tiffany, Jay, Jordan, and Jayden.

Jay (our oldest) was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the left temporal lobe at 15 months old on January 12, 2012. Jay underwent emergency resection surgery the next day at Hershey Medical Center. Every MRI since surgery has been stable and we are so fortunate. This past August, Jay celebrated 12 years cancer free and was declared in remission! Jay still continues to have some effects from the tumor, but very minor considering how much he has been through already in his life. Our family lives in a small town right outside of Harrisburg, Pa.

I am a 5th grade teacher in the school district where we reside. Jay has twin brothers Jordan and Jayden. Our Jay is very social and loves to be active. Jay just started eighth grade. Our family is so thankful for Ohana. Everyone has been so welcoming and we are forever grateful. We are so excited and I love seeing the boys’ faces light up every time we come into the BJC!!
