Hi Cohen, I have come and gone from your CB page a few times. Life sux for you right now, but know that many people really do care about you and your family esecially the MAD mob from Facebook. Life has chucked you a lemon and most days you have made lemonade from it, but right now things are a bit sour. If we could sweeten life for you we would. ((((((((((hugs))))))))))))

Cohen you are going through a difficult time at the moment & it can't be easy for you especially being young & not able to get out & do the things your peers or mates are doing. I think you are a very gutsy strong young man & was so pleased you acheived the most votes to go on the adventure. That was cool. I have not had cancer myself but have travelled the journey firstly with my Dad & then with my husband who sadly lost his battle 3 years ago. Stay strong, take care & big hugs to you & your family as you all travel this difficult journey.

Cohen you & your family are in my prayers, your battle has been long and hard, keep it up mate, it will have made you wise beyond your years and many people old and young are learning hope 7 strength through you. I am sure there are times when you are tired and frightened, just know that there are a lot of people praying for the right outcome for you... I pray for a miracle.

Keep fighting and never forget that there are people out there who mightn't know you, but care for you and are astonished at your journey.

Hi Christine and Cohen
I am pleased Cohen is back at school. But I was really mad when I saw about those bullies and I just want to take those bullies and give them a piece if my mind - there is no place on this earth for people like them. Cohen they are stupid and spineless, don't let them get you down, you are better than they ever will be, just remember what comes around goes around and they'll get what they deserve one day. I hope the school kicks them out. As for no one helping you the other day - that is terrible no one came to help. Anyway best of luck with getting to Australia

Dear Brown Family - You sound like a courageous lot! I have a cousin in NY whose son was diagnosed w/NF last year. He's almost 2 now. I get updates now and again - he's had treatment at the clinic in PA. It's a long road for all of them - but their spirits are high. It sounds like your family is keeping their spirits high as well. Good for you! Hold onto the love - and post some family pictures! :)

Hi Cohen, It was so neat to meet you and your Mum and spend time with you on Jingle Bail. Libby was blown away to see another kid with eyes the same as hers - one blue and the other without any iris. You are a really neat guy. Please try not to let the teasing at school get you down ... just remember there are lots of people who care about you that haven't even met you so just forget about the horrible things that those few ignorant people say and try to stay positive. Take Care, Big Hug to you and pass a hug on to your Mum from me too 'coz she's an amazing lady!

Hey there Cohen, Chrissy and family - just would like to add my meagre support and words of love to your family. Cohen your eyes hold the world and they sparkle ... seems people who live to 70 -80 yr don't have the spark you have - remember hon ... its not how many footprints u leave on the shore, its how deep they are, because no matter what they won't be washed away.

Hi Cohen,
hope you had a good time on the goldcoast, bummer about the broken arm, hope you get another chance to go when it's all healed. And yep I think you're a spunk as well, if anyone gives you a hard time, they're probably just jealous.

Cohen, people who make nasty comments to others do it for a reason. They are insecure about themselves and the only reason they are nasty to others is to make themselves feel better, rather immature don't you think? Hold your head high and when someone comments you can think to yourself "another insecure human being" and go about your business. Good luck young man and forget about the losers, you'll meet alot of them on your path through life.

Hey Cohen you are a brave young man.Take absolutely no notice of Atlas girl. I have two teenage sons one 16 and one 15 and they sometimes get zits too! Its all part of growing up and to be expected. We know all about cancer and the struggles you are going through as we have had the same with our son. Keep strong and keep on smiling, you are a dude.!Our love to you and your family. May the road you travel in the future be a safe one.

Hey Cohen, Don't take any notice what Altasgirl 9whatever her damm name is) she is jelous of you! I think you ar a spunk!! I can't see any acne, god anyone could see mine from a mile away and I am 24! Don't take to heart what kids and people say about you, you have 100 x more friends and supporters than Alatas girl and the cruel people out there. I hope you had fun with the morning madhouse team, Gold Coast is awesome huh? Hold your head up high, I know name calling and staring can be horrible, but you a tough and its not you with the problem its them! Thanks so much for sharing yourself and your condition through your website- You are a handsome, cool and awesome guy :)))
