Hi Andrew




Love Viks

Thats awesome news on the latest scans! Hoping this finds you all doing well. So sorry, Sprite who runs Smile Quilts has been out of commission for a while, so the site has been in limbo for months. Unsure whats going to happen with it, but we are thinking of you and wishing you all the best.

Hip hop, hippety hop
My “Easter Bunny” went off to the shop,
He bought me an egg and lots of chocs
And packed them into a cardboard box.
Then he wrapped it with paper and shiny string
It really was such a pretty thing.
Disaster struck when I opened the door-
He slid across the parquet floor,
He went round the corner and past the stairs
And finished up in a pile of chairs.
Of the Easter goodies not a trace,
he’d thrown them into my fireplace!
So a warning before you go opening doors
Make sure your “Bunny” has non-slip paws!





Happy Easter

With lots of love,

Everyone at Post Pals

Hi, I check your site often and was glad to see an entry. How wonderful that your latest scans are clear. I worry so much about you because of the bad luck that you have had in the past. I know that you will be just fine now. Since the doctors removed all the cancer. I hope you get some new picures on your site soon.

Hi Andrew,
I just wanted to thank you for inviting me to your 2nd Annual Golf Tournament this past Thursday. Despite all the gloomy weather forecasts, it turned out to be a fantastic day. I enjoyed every minute of it, even though I was paired up with "Uncle Ollie"...just kidding. Save me a spot for next year's tourney. I am extremely proud to call you my cousin. Keep up the amazing work and smiles.

Hi Andrew,
I was reading about you on your website, and I just had to write to say hello.
You are one brave guy in at least two ways: first, to beat cancer, and second, to play goalie!! It takes a lot of courage and strength to do both.
I'm a big hockey fan and I know how important the goalie is to his team. Good luck to you this coming season.
Best wishes to you, your family and friends.

Hello Andrew,
My name is Jenna, and I just want to say that you story is very inspirational. I love Hockey, and because I suffer in chronic pain 24/7 hockey helps take my mind of the pain. I was born with a rare bone disease, and right now the battle is very hard to fight, because i am having some difficult times with my pain meds and my health. I continue to smile, and not give up in life. I have made an inspirational webpage: http://www.matmice.com/home/fighterandchampion
My site has alot of hockey stuff on it as well. I am from BC. Canada.
You are a true inspiration.

Thanks Andrew for being my goalie coach this season. You are the first coach I've met that is really nice, and also a great goalie for me to learn from. Together we give the Vaughan Rangers an awesome one-two punch! I'll never forget the things that you taught me. Your friend, Daniel (age 7).

P.S. Thanks from me too, Andrew. You're a very special individual who is clearly going to go far. Thanks for giving Daniel your valuable time - as you know, it really paid off for him. We wish you good, good health and success. Eric (Daniel's Dad)

I was checking out web pages on rhabdo for my middle daughter (age-10) for a school project. She chose rhabdo because her older sister had this type of cancer at age 41/2 (she is now 13). Her site was on her right parotid gland and went through surgery, chemo and radiation and is now fine (touch wood). All stories of children with cancer are inspirational and yours is no exception. I think it is great that you are playing hockey and wish you all the best in the future. Always stay positive!!

Go for Gold Andrew! As a mother of two goalies (Michael and Andrew) I know that being a goalie can seem like a solitary position even though you are part of a team. But always remember to count on the people around you, on and off of the ice, for support when you need it. Here's wishing you many, many shut-outs Andrew!

I have visited your web page numberous times over the past year Andrew and I am always amazed. First by the way nothing ever seems to slow you down and second by how many people and organizations you have been able to touch with your story.

I know from being around you that you tend to down play your own achievements. When someone comments on a great save or a big win you shrug it off. Some times it's OK to stick out your chest and be proud of yourself Andrew,,,,everyone else is.

I'll see you around the rink Andrew.

Hey Andrew this is Noah Weldman #12 from the duffield devils single A. I still remember that great glove save you made in the dying minutes of the game. Oh by the way that was me you stopped. Evryone was happy that you made that save . Even my dad was happy. But you know what i wasn't. you truly are a great goalie in our league and iam so happy you are well and playing the game you love most. But you know what! We will play you again and i won't miss this time and i hope you have a great holiday and a happy New Year.

Dear Andrew, I hope one day we will meet. My prays and best wishes are with you and your family this Holy Christmas season. My son to, at nine years old had rhabdo in the orbit of his eye. 18 months of chemo he had to endure. Postive thoughts and a will to be an engineer one day made him a stong willed survivor. My son is 25years old now. He just got married in july and they bought a new house. My son, by the way is a architectual engineer,and he made top of his class, putting him on the dean's list. So Andrew, follow your dreams. There is nothing that can not be accomplished when you have faith in God, your family and in yourself. May God bless you and your family this Christmas and I hope that the year new will bring you much joy and happines. Warmest wishes, N.

We live very close to Disneyland and would love to have you at 1 of our games if you ever make it out this way.

Keep up the good fight,

Hello Andrew and family,
I am sending this on behalf of the Young Nats Pewee AAA team. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. My son is also a goalie so a special hug from me to your mom and dad (and you of course). Hang tough and get back to that crease as soon as possible.

Hello Andrew:
My name is Terry Doran and I am a registered/certified Level III OMHA official. My family and I live in Stouffville and this is my official OMHA center that I take my ref assignments from. I have been involved in the game of hockey all my life. I have 4 other brothers, one older and 3 younger. Our family has felt the pain and have experienced first hand the results of cancer. You my young friend must never ever give up fighting. The game of hockey is similiar to our "game" of life. In hockey all teams come up against a better team. They may loose a game or 2 along the way against a better team. However this just makes you want to win even more the next time you play those guys. So what do you do differently? You practise and practise and practise until you get it right. You never ever give up. This is the really hard part Andrew....it hurts to practise BUT you will win and win BIG!
We pray for you and hope all is well at the end of every day. Keep the faith, keep your head up and keep the puck out of the net!! Good luck to you my friend. See you on the ice!
Best regards,
Terry Doran

Hi Andrew, my names is Daniel Augello I play defence for the Vaughan Panthers Bantam A Team. I have just read your website and seen your pictures, first let me say, you have great goalie pads, one of our goalies could do with pads like yours!! Here's to a speedy recovery Andrew, when your back on the ice let us know through your website and I'll bring the whole team to come and cheer a real hero on. Get well soon as the Leaf's may need defensive positions right now, they look a little shaky, I think you and I could get ourselves a paying job right. Go get em Andrew as there are a lot more pucks coming your way.

Andrew,

I have spent the last 6 years coaching hockey and soccer with some elite athletes and a teacher for the last 10 years and I believe I have worked with a wide range and so many kids. Although, I have never met you, yet have heard so much about you and your champion attitude and spirit, I know I have not seen it all. Andrew, you have the soul and spirit of a champion that we may never experience. You are about life, desire, determination and hope. I am proud and honoured to know that we can walk with you(such greatness)and for that, we are humbled. You have been my daily mantra that helps my family and I keep life in perspective. You must know, that your life and your fight have reached so many, we can only hope and pray for you to continue and you will, we know! We are happy to hear that you're between the pipes again, playing the game you love so much. Good Luck! You are a Winner.
I guess I can only say "Thank you", hopefully on behalf of all of us who are on your side of the stands cheering you on. Stop that puck, Andrew. Stop that puck!

God bless you and your family.

Our family prayers are with you always.

Dear Andrew, as a hockey dad and former Coach and Manager in the Vaughan Hockey Program, I was always impressed and inspired by those individuals like yourself that always wanted to be part of the game because they just loved the sport.
I am fortunate to have my 2 boys playing today with teams that support and care for each other because that is the best part of team sports. Everybody dreams of their child being in the NHL, but ultimately it is those kids that give it their best game in and game out that succeed. You are giving it your best, you have succeeded more than you know.
You have the prayers and good wishes from this family, and you have the support of your team and from the minor hockey world to cheer you on.

Wishing you a successful recovery, from the Tersigni`s

Dearest Andrew;
I have two sons playing in the GTHL, one whose name is Andrew and the other who is a goalie (Willie). We have been very touched by your courageous battle with cancer and your story has helped us to keep hockey (and a whole lot of other things) in perspective. Our world needs more people like you, so get well soon. Good luck and God bless you.

Hi Andrew! Boy, are you an amazing kid. Our son Luke played for the Toros last year, and we remember what a good goalie you are. Now we are inspired by what an amazing kid you are. Keep up your fight, and don't let that cancer score! Like your family, we believe in prayer, and we will keep you and your family in ours until you win this battle. Thank you to you and your Dad for sharing your story,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I am a goalie mom of a 14-year old boy. I truly think goalies are a special breed and that they are mature beyond their years or experiences. Your son in particular is an example of that. I pray for your son's health and for those around him to support him.

Dear Andrew

From the Westmall Lightning Atom "A" team, we are very sorry to hear of your latest set back, but from reading your web page we are sure that you will continue to fight with everything you have as you have in the past. To quote some old cliché's "more can be accomplished when everyone pulls together as a team", and as a goalie you probably heard this before "stay focused and be positive". Although we can't be there with you we hope that maybe just you knowing that we are all pulling for you will help you in some way. Keep fighting and don't give up. We all hope to see you back on the ice, get well soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi Andrew, my name is Lynne and I am the mother of a CANCER SURVIVOR and also of his brother, a goalie just like you. My son, Jesse, is now 11 years old. He was born in April of 1991 and in September of that year he too was diagnosed with cancer. They found a tumour in his brain that was the size of a small grapefruit which was very large for a 5 month old baby. The first diagnosis was that his cancer was rhabdomyosarcoma, they considered this to be good news as they believed this cancer to be curable. Turned out he had PNET which stands for Primative Neuroectodermal Tumour. The prognosis was no longer so good. Jesse had two surgeries and 8 months of chemotherapy. The proper protocol was radiation therapy but because of his tender age, that was not an option. They only tried chemotherapy in hopes that it would at least prolong his life and hopefully something new would be discovered in the meantime. We were very hesitant as we wanted whatever time he had left to be pleasant, but as our favourite neurosurgeon, Dr. Rutka, so kindly reminded us, they see miracles all the time at Sick Kids so anything was worth a try. He was so right and we are truly grateful to him. Jesse valiantly battled against all odds, obsticles and set backs, as there were many. He had his last chemo on his 1st birthday and thankfully has never had to endure that again. In April this year, on his 11th birthday, we celebrated 10 years of remission. Although he had many complications over the years they were all related to his surgery and treatment, he never, ever had a relapse of cancer despite the doctors "expecting" he definitely would. Our visits to neurosurgery and oncology at Sick Kids are now yearly and they speak of Jesse's miracle story often and copies of his CT scans are used all over the world for medical training. The doctors now feel comfortable telling us there was no way they ever expected Jesse to survive. Jesse is a very, very active boy who loves more than anything to play and have fun and that gives us great joy as these are things we never thought he would experience. Jesse has fluid on his brain, poor hearing in his right ear and he cannot see well out of his right eye so he will probably never play hockey like you, certainly not contact. Those things are minor and certainly don't keep him down. He's gotten tremendous enjoyment out of being a "Rink Rat" running from game to game, and tournament after tournament, always exploring new arenas, new hotels and making lots of new friends. His brother, a goalie, is 14 and plays Bantam AA in Barrie and although they pretend to hate each other sometimes, I know his older brother knows how truly lucky he is to be healthy and that his brother is a survivor. He knows his younger brother's stubborness and determination are what have kept him here and are personality traits he will just have to put up with. With all the prayers, love and support you clearly have, Andrew, your miracle too, is in the making. May God bless you and your family as we know first hand the strength that you need to endure this disease. I didn't only write this letter in hopes of giving you and your family some support and inspiration, I wrote it for myself as well, because 10 years in remission and sometimes we almost need to be reminded how truly lucky and blessed we are. I try to remember that when we're at the rink as there's nothing that gives me more pleasure than watching my oldest son play in net, and my youngest son run around the arena laughing and playing without a care in the world. I pray that very soon you and your family will be comfortable enough to sit back and enjoy things knowing that your cancer is behind you. God Bless you Andrew and keep fighting!

Hi Andrew. I'm one of those "geezer" adults who referee's minor hockey. A year ago I too was diagnosed with cancer although mine was not as serious as yours (pituitary tumor). It was removed but I was off the ice for 12 weeks and it drove me nuts!! I expect you feel the same way.

Hockey gave me a way to relax and enjoy again. I wish the same joy for you on the ice for a very very long time.

My son Ryan is a goalie for the Pickering Panthers Minor Peewee Select Team, and I know how demanding the goalie position can be. Some days it's great and some days it's tough, but he always has a smile on his face, just being with his friends means alot. I hope you continue to have faith and hopefully get back between the pipes real soon. I'm sure your team mates miss you, both in the dressing room and on the ice.

Since then I have been a Coach, Trainer, Linesman, Referee and yes spectator. My sincere wish would be to someday watch one of your games and shake your hand at the conclusion of the game.

Awesome news! Elliott says Hi! We hope to visit again in the Summer and we won't bring extreme hot weather with us this time. Nate's football team lost in the first round of play offs, but we needed a miracle to win, our star ball carrier broke his arm 5 days before the game. Oh well there is always next year. You have bounced back from so much, I know you'll get well soon and be back on the ice.

Hi Andrew and Len, Your story is an inspiration to all. I am a mom of a goalie, and I'm sure Andrew and Logan have faced each other many times. Logan's been a AA goalie in the GTHL since his Novice year as well. You're an amazing athelete Andrew, and an incredible little boy. Keep up the fight... our prayers are with you.

I dont know if you were the goalie that day but i have a story to tell you and its about about my dad. My dad has cancer called leukemia and as of right now my dad is almost cured. My dad went through a really rough time to get to this point but now he feels great. I can only wish that you do as well as my dad so i can face you for another 100000000 years. I play you again November 1st. I will be wearing nuber 12 for duffield with the A on my sweater and as i pass by you I will be thinking about you and my dad and how a great future you will have. Thinking of you always.

Hi Andrew,

I coach the Caledon Hawks Peewee 'A' hockey team. I always knew that goalie's were a special breed. Their courage and dedication are second to none and you exemplify this to the max. Your situation has caused me to look at my players a little differently. I see them more as 12 year-old beautiful little boys rather than 12 year-old hockey players. Through your strength and courage I have become a better coach and better father. For this, I am extremely grateful. May your courage touch the lives of many others as it has mine. GO LEAFS! (or is it GO WINGS now)

Hi Andrew and Family,
I am sitting here with tears in my eyes at the courage, strength and determination that your Dad has described. I know what you are all going through as my daughter, who will be 23 in November was diagnosed this past January, 2002 with a brain tumour. She is doing fine as the tumour is contained and does not seem to be growing. She has to have another MRI in October and we are praying that the tumour has shrunk or gone away. Prayer is very powerful and my faith in God has really strengthened over his past year. I will pray for you Andrew and for your family. You sound like a real trooper and with your family at your side everything will be okay.

Hi Andrew & Family!
I just had to pop in and check on Andrew & see how the Golf Classic went! How wonderful to read what a great success it was. I was sorry to hear that you felt so bad after the treatments earlier this month - I hope you are feeling better now. I will be checking back in a few days to see if there is news on your latest scan. You are such a special young man and you are in my prayers (and those of all the Quilting Angels) each day. I was so delighted to read your Dad's note about how much you all liked your Quilt. I loved every moment of making the main quilt for you! Sending you prayers - hugs & lots of love!

Following your battle along with many other Caringbridge cancer kids. So so sorry about you having to fight again. My niece has Wilms Tumor. She's been fighting since 2/1/01. She's only 3 years old. This is such a devastating monster. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. LOTS AND LOTS OF PRAYERS. This is the toughest battle a human being can ever face. It's so long and so hard. Please know that others out here are fighting with you and fighting fervently to find a cure. Love to you all.

Cancer changes your life, but it doesn't have to change you or become all there is in life. I had cancer (Wilms tumor) 48 years ago, and have lived a wonderful life. I've had my share of problems from the treatments, but I've got 5 wonderful kids (when the doctors said I wouldn't), and now 3 grandkids!! Hang tough, have faith in God's love and ability to heal, and keep stopping those pucks!! Love, Karen

I read your story in the Hometown hockey magazine that you get in the mail and I thought your story was the best in the hole magazine. Alot of people must have read the story, because you can tell by looking at home many people have come to your website. It must have been amazing to meet Vince Carter and alot of famous people. But you had ups and downs that might have not been good. I'm also a Maple Leaf Fan.

Hi Andrew,
What great news it is to read of your battle and victory over cancer. I'm familiar with the year you had and happy for you and your family. You're a tough guy to persevere the treatment, all the trips to the hospitals, clinics and early morning/late nights. I believe those that survive this disease are blessed by God and destined to do something special. I'll remember you and your family in my prayers as we give thanks for the remission my son is experiencing. Your dad is right, what a difference a year makes. Keep up the good fight.

Hi Andrew! Already talked to your Dad and you guys sound like big time Leafs fans. Hope you are feeling well and can enjoy the NHL playoffs -- but with Michael Peca playing for the Islanders it's got to be confusing for you Toronto people! Keep up the good work and get back in the net!

Hi Andrew, we just want to say how lucky we were to have known you this past hockey season (2001-2002). Your courage has been an inspiration to all of us. You're a great goalie, but especially a great kid. God bless you.

Hi Andrew, its Michael (#13). I think you are an excellent goalie, and we always had extra confidence when you were in net. Hope we play together again. I'm glad you're going to be O.K.

Hi Andrew and Family,
My son Caedan has a Caringbridge Webpage, too. We are at Sick Kids waiting for his BMT on Thursday. I loved reading your webpage as the news got better and better with great CT Scan results. Caedan has his last two Total Body Irradiation tomorrow at Princess Margaret Hosp. It's also where his Dad will donate his Bone Marrow on Thursday!
Caedan is a big basketball fan and is very impressed with your picture with Vince Carter. Very cool.
Hope all is going well.

I think it is great that your son made it and is in remission. My son was diagnosed last July with the same cancer, fortunately he didn't make it because of a side effect from the chemotherapy. God Bless your family.

I'm glad you are doing so well, Andrew. You are just a few months younger than our Katie, and your cancer was in the same place as hers (except hers was by the right eye.) She didn't get radiation the first time and her cancer came back in the same place. But this time she did get chemo and radiation so we are much more hopeful that it will stay gone this time. We will be praying that you both stay in remission!

Hi Andrew, I read about you on my grandsons' website. His name was Dylan and he also had rhabdo, but he had the very bad kind. He is living in heaven now and we really miss him. He was quite a lively little boy! Tomorrow would have been his 5th birthday, we are going to celebrate by sending ballons off. Am so glad that you are remission and pray that you will continue to do so. Sounds like you are very busy, that's great. Our family will keep you and your family in our prayers. May God continue to bless you and your family. Dylan's grandmother - Linda

Dear Andrew & family:
You don't know me, but I read about you on another caring bridge site for a little boy named Dylan. I will be praying for you & glad to hear that you're in remission. My own son, Zach, was diagnosed with cancer in 1989 when he was 4 yrs old. He is now 16 & has been cancer free for over 12 years. You are both truly a miracle! Keep up the great hockey playing!

Andrew, the first time I met you and found out about your fight reminded me so much about my sisters own fight. She had a similar type of cancer just like yours and in the same area. She is now 40 years old and has a beautiful 16 year old daughter. She is cancer free. You are inspiration to all. You are a true fighter, always ready to play and never complaining. Anthony thinks your a great goalie and he always feels confident when he is playing in front of you. Keep smiling and all the best to you,

Great pictures! I think you should keep your head bald. It really looks good. Only cute guys like you can pull it off.
I had my head almost to bald when Elliott was going through Chemo. He never lost his hair, it just matted up like nappy dog fur. I ended up shaving his head after chemo in hopes that it would grow in healthy looking and it did and now it grows so fast it's hard to keep up with the cuts.
Let me know when your exact dates for Disney are and have fun!

Hi Andrew,

You have your own web site, thats terrific. It was great to see you the other day, we really enjoyed are visit. Aunte Linda, Nadine, Mark and myself are extremely happy to see that you are doing so well. Our thoughts and prayers have always been with you.

"Our lives are not determined by what happens to us, but by how we react to what happens; Not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst a spark that creates extroardinary results."

You are that "Spark" Andrew. Best of Luck!!

Hi Andrew:

I am very happy to hear that you are now in remission. You may not be aware of whom I am, but I had the pleasure of working with your dad for several years. I know that he cherished you and your brothers and still does today. I certainly cherish my three children, Victoria, Charlotte and Andrew of 15 months after having learned of your challenges with life. You are certainly a person of great character. I wish you good health and many years of happiness.

Say hello to your dad for me.

Sincerely,
