Brian Schroeder is suffering from stage 4 Gliomatosis Cerebri (a very rare and terminal form of brain cancer). Over the past few months, he has been declining quickly, suffering from multiple seizures, losing his ability to speak and swallow, his weakness is getting progressively worse, and his restlessness is increasing. This journey has been extremely difficult on his family (wife and 3 sons. The boys have had to watch their father go through more than any child should have to, and have stepped up to help with so many things with their father.
Brian’s wish is to watch his sons snowboard and/or surf. He unfortunately is unable to travel, as his condition has gotten worse, but he really enjoys watching his sons take part in these activities via Facetime. One of Brian’s favorite spots that he used to visit with the boys was the Kalahari in Wisconsin Dells, WI because it has a surfing simulator and is close to home. Last year, the boys were able to take a trip there and Facetime Brian while they were surfing. It was something that brought so much joy to Brian and the boys!
Brian’s dream of to watching his sons surf and snowboard again will come true. Stella’s Wish Foundation is sending the family to the water park in Wisconsin Dells so that the boys can Facetime with their father will having fun.
