Cameron Bruder was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in October 2022, according to a GoFundMe launched by his aunt, Jaclyn Brown.
“The specific gene mutation he has created a very aggressive, difficult-to-treat cancer,” Brown writes.
Despite undergoing about seven months of treatment, including clinical trials and T-cell therapy, “sadly, nothing has yielded any hopeful results,” writes Brown.
The brave Cherry Hill boy then began hospice care, prompting the fundraiser’s launch on Sunday, June 4, days after his 3rd birthday.
“CHOP doctors said they tried all they could to save Cameron’s life,” Brown writes. “Having a normal birthday party for him was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever had to do. Knowing that my nephew only had days to weeks left created a constant struggle to hold back tears.”
Against all odds, Cameron’s father was then contacted by the lead oncologist at M.D. Anderson in Texas, saying he had a chemotherapy plan that could be a good fit for Cameron.
“My brother packed up his family and caught a same-day flight to begin treatment immediately,” Brown writes. “My family has been praying for a miracle since we received the devastating news last weekend.”
South Jersey has been praying alongside them, raising nearly $5,700 in donations as of Thursday, June 15.
Meanwhile, a Facebook page called Stomp and Roar for Cameron’s Cure created to share Cameron’s day-to-day progress had garnered nearly 500 followers supporting Cameron through every step of his journey:
“We are asking everyone to join Cameron’s fight!” the fundraiser says. “Please pray for him, and pray for this treatment to actually work.”
