Carson Leslie was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a brain tumor at the age of 14 in 2006. He shared his fight against cancer in his book, “Carry Me.” He asked his family to make sure that researchers study the tumors in his brain, “because if those tumors can help some kid not die from cancer like I am, I’d like that, it’s hard to have cancer.” The Carson Leslie Foundation was established in his memory. Carson died Jan. 12, 2010. “I can either go around mad and sad, or go around living with the strength and courage that comes from God and from the people he puts around me.” Mom. Annette, has kept his spirit alive with the Carson Leslie Foundation.
