The Team: Join Us

Our Team, led by sMiles

We are a group of people determined to make a difference for families affected by childhood cancer. At just over one year old, our little boy, Miles, was diagnosed with a rare illness, Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH). Even through his fight, he has a joy and love for life and being outdoors. We are eager to build awareness, help others after diagnosis and while in treatment, and strive toward supporting research for better treatments and cures. We feel strongly about empowering children and their families to support the cause. We will advocate for those who need us most - our children.

Meet Miles, our Tiny Superhero

Diagnosis

Miles was diagnosed with LCH on July 7, 2016. He appeared to be a happy, healthy baby. In May of 2016, he presented with a bleeding ear. This led us on a winding path to a biopsy which confirmed his illness.

Langerhans Cell Histiocystosis is the most common of the histio disorders which occur when the body accumulates too many immature Langerhans cells. These cells can build up and cause tumors and damage organs. The cause of the disease is unknown. It is recognized as a rare disease and is treated by an oncologist.

Battle

We call him sMiles because he is full of life and love. Yet, this little boy has faced a lot in his young childhood. He is currently on his fifth chemotherapy protocol due to the disease progression. New medicines create new challenges, specialists and unknown long term side effects.

Striving for More

We know in this new world we live in, there are many things for which to be grateful and we are constantly humbled. Yet, we can't sit complacent. The treatment options are limited and the side effects can be devastating. There are few answers and many unknowns. Move for Miles was created to be a voice for all the children out there fighting for their lives and looking for answers, hoping someday, there will be better treatments and cures. We want to always be moving forward. #LetsGetMoving
