Amazing Aven’s Quest for Amoeba Awareness

UPDATE August 4th 2022- We are so excited to now have a website up and running! Please visit us at Amazingaven.org There you will be able to donate directly. Thank you in advance for your financial support, love and prayers.

Imagine… a baby boy born so early that he spent his first 87 days of life in the Newborn Critical Care Center yet made it home as a happy and healthy little boy before his projected due date.

Imagine… a six-month-old little baby boy that defied the odds and survived a 42-minute cardiac arrest, answering everyone’s prayers, going on to make a full recovery and baffling his family, friends, and the medical community.

Imagine… the sweetest little boy that lit up every room with his smile and laughter, silly jokes, tight hugs, beautiful white hair, imaginary friends, Lego masterpieces, fishing stories, love of learning, and so much more.

Imagine… a terrible disease taking this sweet boy from his loving family, with barely a warning.

Now, imagine that we can come together and do something to help prevent future tragedies like this.

Please help us honor our miracle, Amazing Aven, by donating to a foundation created to honor his legacy called Amazing Aven’s Quest for Amoeba Awareness. This foundation will work tirelessly to promote awareness, early detection, and advance medical treatments for Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis (PAM).
