Owen’s Story

Site created on August 4, 2021

Dearest Friends, Family, and Caring Community,

We have created this page so you can get notifications about Owen's progress. 

Alice and Brian Caraway's nine-year-old son Owen has just been diagnosed with a rare bone cancer—Osteosarcoma—in his right femur. To start, he is going to need three months of chemotherapy followed by reconstructive bone surgery, then five more months of chemotherapy. There are still many unknowns about his condition and treatment plan, and we will be posting updates here as we learn more.  

The Caraways need you! They need your love and support to get through what will be a long journey battling and
kicking Osteosarcoma's butt over the next year. As you can imagine, the financial and emotional toll of all of this is and will continue to
be overwhelming for the Caraways. Any gift you can give to their GoFundMe (gofundme.com/f/support-owen-the-caraways), large or small, will go directly to his treatment and care. Please also post this on your social media and send to those in your life who can offer support.  

I know we can all agree on two things: Alice, Brian, and Owen are some of the best people on Earth, and having your child diagnosed with
cancer is one of the hardest (perhaps the hardest) experience to go through. 

We have known Owen since the day he was born. He is family to us and to many. He is sweet, hilarious, insanely smart, multi-talented,
loving, and open-hearted. Watching him grow up has been a pleasure and an honor for us all. 

Signed with Love & Care

Friends & Family of The Caraways

Today marks the one year anniversary of Owen ringing the bell leaving Kaiser after finishing his treatment. My little hero wore his raccoon hat all day because it kept his head warm during treatment-and today on a beautiful chilly day in SF with his grandparents
