 Welcome
Just ten months old, Bryce Michael Anderson was diagnosed with leukemia
on November 27, 2004. Little Bryce spent nearly 500 consecutive days
in five different hospitals battling his disease and numerous post-bone
marrow stem cell transplant complications. He fought valiantly throughout
his ordeal, inspiring faith and love among family members, friends
and medical staff who witnessed his courageous and joyful spirit. On
April 10, 2006, at the age of twenty-seven months, Bryce passed into
Heaven.
Bryce’s journey is chronicled on his personal web site www.bryceanderson.com.

On June 7, The Bryce Foundation held a successful fundraiser at Burke Lake Park. Despite nearly 100 degree temperatures, more than 75 people attended the event. Thanks to the generosity of attendees, contributors, and sponsors, the picnic raised more than $5,000 for The Bryce Foundation.
The event included a professionally-catered picnic lunch, plus lots of fun family entertainment and activities. Attractions included Banjo Man Frank Cassel, soccer with the Soccer Academy, Granny's Crafts Table, face painting by KinderCare, and balloon animals by Doug Bryant
