Cooper is 12 years old, and had to have surgery to remove a tumor from his brain.  Aubrey is very happy to be collecting cards & prayers for Cooper and his family! Thank you for all of your support! Read his story below!




On august 24, 2011, one of God's smallest 

soldiers began the fight of his young life.

Just one day prior, he was suited up, head to

 toe, helmet to cleats, on the football field

 with his teammates. Doing what normal kids 

do.....

But to say he is normal is not exactly correct.

 He is extraordinary! He excels in basketball, 

football, and this past July, pitched a no 

hitter in the championship baseball tournament.

 He is a loving son and grandson, a hugh Colts 

fan, and he loves tar heel basketball. I think 

he plays every sport believing that at least 

one of them will make him a TAR HEEL one day. A

 curious and funny kid, who is always the 

subject of his paw paws funny stories.

Today, life is a little tougher for Cooper. 

After a trip to the hospital the night of 

August 24th 2011 for a severe headache, he was

 rushed Duke medical center and on August 25th 

he underwent what would end up being a 12 hour

 surgery to remove a tumor from his brain stem.
Cooper's mom Stephanie is a Legal Assistant and has been recovering from her own brain surgery for the past 6 weeks. She now spends her days and night cheering Cooper on hoping for a breakthrough.

Cooper's dad Reid is a North Carolina State Highway Patrol Trooper. He has a pretty heavy load taking care of the citizens of North Carolina and his family - I think the weight of the world is on his shoulders right now. 

Cooper continues to fight with the strength and determination that makes him a great athlete, but progress is slow.

"We believe in the in the healing power of prayer, and strength in numbers. He needs your help. "
