TeamNoahAuction

Thanks!

The auction is now officially over, although Colin and I will be sitting down to write up a "guidebook" that other families can refer to if they are in a similar situation and want to create their own auction.

Here's a special note directly from Colin and Nicole:
Our deepest and warmest thanks to all of the participants of the Team Noah auction. Your contributions provided rays of sunshine in a dark and challenging time. In particular we would like to thank Rob and Danielle Cooper for making the auction possible. Sometimes words don't seem like enough.

As for Noah, he is through his treatment protocol and is in relatively good shape to start grade one this September. Noah is not in remission and may never be, as Neuroblastoma is a very stubborn cancer. That said, we remain hopeful that he can enjoy his life going forward and that we have neutralized his cancer to the degree possible. He is confident that he has beaten his illness and we are sharing his commitment to positive thinking. Once again, thank you for your support and well wishes.
