Dax Ryan Locke was born to Austin and Julie Locke on June 26th, 2007. At the age of 13 months Dax was diagnosed with AML M7 Leukemia. He was life-flighted to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital where he underwent two bone marrow transplants. Both of his parents were able to give their bone marrow to him. Since his disease was so rare Dax's treatments were not certain. Dax lost his battle with cancer at the age of 2. The doctors told us they didn't think he would live till Christmas. Dax passed away on December 30th 2009. During his short life Dax touched many hearts. The town of Washington, Illinois put up their Christmas lights early for Dax and many other people around the world joined in.

Good morning,
I have created a blog for my boy Jarren Mitchell Donatini and I will be posting the caringbridge posts from all of our friends and their stories as they battle cancer like Jarren did.

The purpose of this blog is to reach as many people as possible to share our story and inform them about pediactric cancer.  We also wish to reach out to newly diagnosed families to lend a hand like what we received the entire battle.

Heather, Vincent and I will be sharing victories, videos and the love of our Healer Jesus Christ our Lord!
