The Bryants
Last fall, we were honored to be matched with another Four Diamonds Family, the Tyler Bryant Family. Unfortunately, Tyler passed away June 30th, 2016. He received love and support from his amazing family, his sister Mckayla, his brother Hunter, and his wonderful mother Ashley. The Bryant family went on a Disney cruise with the Make-A-Wish foundation this past December. Tyler loved hockey, football (Go Seahawks!), and soccer! We are Tyler Tough!

The Pfluegers
In December 2013, AKPsi was blessed with another family, the Pfluegers. Sadly, their oldest son Brandt passed away on January 12, 2011. Brandt is remembered by his contagious smile and is missed by many. Brandt's loving parents, Brad and Melissa, and younger sister Savannah do so much to show their support. This past year Savannah's school hosted a mini-THON and raised $4,500 for the kids and for the cure!

The Martins
Our THON child, Katelyn Martin, is 17 years old and entering her senior year of high school. The youngest of 3, Katelyn, was diagnosed at 8 years old with leukemia. In 2006, the Martins were paired with AKPsi and experienced their first THON with us. In August 2006 she completed her treatment and is now cancer free. Katelyn is now making plans to attend college post-graduation! Katelyn has two loving parents, Phil and RuthAnne, and two older sisters, DeAnne and Jenna.
