Ronan

Not sure if everyone is familiar with this story, but everyone should be.




Maya knew that something was wrong with her 4 year old son as soon as she noticed one of his eyes looked "off".  She called the family pedi and the doctor didn't think much of it, but Maya knew different.  She called doctor after doctor to get her son in the very next day to an eye specialist.  And he agreed, something was seriously wrong.



Ronan was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma August 12th, 2010



Ronan's battle with Neuroblastoma ended May 9, 2011, but his fight will go on.



Maya promised Ronan that she would fight for people to listen. To fight for children dying of cancer. To fight.


You can read more about Maya and her sweet boy here at her blog:


Where this story gets even bigger? Taylor Swift became one of Maya's followers and was really moved by their story.  So what does she do? She writes Ronan a song. And sings it live during a fight against cancer fundraiser. 



I warn you, I was balling listening to this.  Taylor uses Maya's words in the lyrics. It's beautiful.

Here is the link to the video of the song.
