The Westlake community and parents at Cedar Creek Elementary are organizing a community-wide garage sale fundraiser to benefit the family of Aydan Chapman, an 8- year-old boy with cancer. The garage sale will be held on Saturday, November 21, 2015 from 8am - 3pm at the warehouse next to The Midway Food Park at 1905 South Capitol of Texas Highway. The organizers are also accepting item donations at the same location on November 19 and 20 from 12:00-8:00 p.m.





Aydan and his family have already faced and beaten the odds. Both of Aydan’s parents are hearing impaired but yet have managed to navigate the complex and often overwhelming health care system to get Aydan the treatment he needs. Aydan has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor four times beginning in 2009. He was diagnosed again in 2010 and in 2014. He is currently in another battle against Childhood Ependymoma after discovering the recurrence from a routine MRI on August 27, 2015. He had the fourth surgery on September 2, 2015 and another on September 8 to remove remaining tumor and scar tissues that were discovered during a post-op MRI.





Aydan is recovering and will be receiving chemotherapy until January 2016. Aydan is not able to attend school during the chemotherapy treatment due to a lowered immune system. The family continues to stay positive and regularly updates the community via social media.





Aydan’s Boy Scout Pack, number 91, has chosen to compile supplies and assemble chemo care kits as their November service project. The pack will assemble the kits at The Warehouse on Thursday, November 19 at 7:00pm. To learn more about the efforts to help Aydan, we invite the media to interview the volunteers as they assemble the kits and set up for the garage sale.
