Sometimes a great story comes along and it reinforces my belief that I'm part of a noble profession. To be able to share real stories about real people. Last week I was assigned to photograph the heart warming story of two-and-a-half-year-old Maddox Flynn and his adoring parents who just wanted the best life for their child. Maddox was born with a rare lymphatic disorder called cystic hygroma on the left side of his face. His mother Nicole told me that she loves him for who he is but has already seen how other children react to him.

The family has found a doctor in New York city who may have the answer that Canadian doctors have not been able to solve. According to the Edmonton Journal story Maddox may now get the treatment he needs due to the incredible support and donations from Canadians.
