Daniel's Page

Welcome to Daniel's Web Page. Here you'll find updates on his progress throughout his treatment for Neuroblastoma.

On April 6, 2005, Daniel was diagnosed with Stage III, intermediate risk, non N-Myc amplified Neuroblastoma with favorable histology. The tumor was found to be on both sides of his neck.

At 5 months old, we noticed something wrong with his right eye. He was diagnosed with Horner’s Syndrome and had an MRI that showed no tumors and the blood and urine tests came back negative. However, it did show what they thought was a swollen lymph node on the right side of his neck. We waited 6 months until Daniel was 1 year old and repeated the MRI. This time it showed that the lymph node had gotten significantly bigger. We were referred to an oncologist, and had a biopsy done. On April 6, 2005 (almost 14 months old), we got the news that it was cancer. So far, and to this day, Daniel has been a healthy, happy, adorable, loving little boy. He had no other symptoms. Daniel had a central line port surgically placed in his chest through which he received 4 rounds of chemotherapy (A3961) at CHOP and as of July 28, 2005 he is NED – No Evidence of Disease! We were fortunate to have been given a sign to catch this early. Most cases go undetected until they reach a later stage.

Thank you very much for visiting Daniel's page and following our journey.

UPDATE: As of July 28, 2018, Daniel has been NED for 13 years!

Thank you for your outstanding support of our team at the 2012 Four Seasons Parkway Run/Walk!

The funds raised through the Four Seasons Parkway Run/Walk benefit cancer research and survivorship at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The money raised allows Children’s Hospital researchers to focus on finding the best non-invasive treatments and ultimately cures for every type of childhood cancer. Our goal is to make a difference in the lives of children who have been touched by cancer. Thank you for helping us to achieve our goal!

This year's event was awesome! We had 105 Friends of Daniel Cooper Team members for our 8th year participating in this event. The event had 9,000 people registered and raised over $850,000! For an overall event total of around 5 million to date!

Thank you so much for your support.

5K Run and Family Fun Walk

Join the fun at this annual event that raises funds to help cure cancer in children through research at The Cancer Center at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the nation’s premier pediatric oncology program.

Our team, Friends of Daniel Cooper, was created in honor of my son, Daniel, who was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma. This event has provided The Children’s Hospital with over $4 million to research new cures and create a better life for the increasing number of survivors. Daniel is one of those survivors, so we know it is working.

We would be grateful and honored to have you sign up as members of our team. We are always looking to add members to our team to support this important cause. Your participation makes a difference. Our team has had over 100 members the last 7 years and we can do it again with your help!
