Aidan Stotz
Age 6
Children’s Memorial Hospital
Cancer
It all started with stomach pain. After going to the ER for several medical tests, Aidan Stotz was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a form of childhood cancer. Aidan immediately began a yearlong series of treatments at Children’s Memorial Hospital. He underwent aggressive chemotherapy, radiation, a triple stem cell transplant, and had a tumor removed. Although these treatments were hard on his little body, they were a success.
“We’re forever grateful to Children’s Memorial,” said his mom. “The staff made him feel like a superstar every time he walked through the doors. It’s an unbelievable place, and we couldn’t have asked for better care.”
Today, 6-year-old Aidan doesn’t even realize all he’s been through. According to Aidan, he had a sick tummy and now he’s better. His confidence, empathy, sense of humor and overall passion for life contributed to this amazing outlook.
Aidan loves to play soccer, enjoys video games and wrestling with his dad, and hopes to be an astronaut someday.

Aidan and his family are amazing. Nobody should ever have to go through what they've been through and yet they all pulled together and managed with such grace. They are heroes to many, and certainly to me.
