I get it...it's a #### move, but I do get it.
HE should take his daughter to Disney, though.

she is not considered cured yet, she meets their qualifications and she has gone through a lot.
Also, what they don't say is that she will probably have long lasting effects from all the treatments.
Her Dad is wrong.

Explain to her the purpose of MAW and tell her that...

since she has beat it he will do everything in his power to take her there. She has a lifetime to go to Disney where as the people that deserve MAW trips are people that only have months to live. Its a awful situation to be in.

I'm sure a four year old will understand and appreciate that logic.

your job as a parent is to raise your kids not give in to their desires

Not entirely sure that I can agree with your logic that the MAW concept is "giving in" to the desires of a child. This child went through pain and suffering I couldn't even begin to imagine. And as a four year old, from what I have gathered, a large percentage of her young life has been spent in pretty dire conditions. Perhaps the thoughts and hopes of visiting Disney World helped in her road to recovery. I have no idea. But, one thing is clear - it is obvious that prayers were answered since she has started heading towards a healthier life. Now, if the parents could get their acts together and do the right thing for this little girl.

Bottomline it's his child, not your's or anyone else. Really none of our buisness what he does with his family. Hid child his decision and what many are missing is, he said they will go. Already taking donations and you know they will raise enough

He is an a$$ for interpreting an organization's rules different than the organization does.
I don't think the article says whether or not the parents are married/together so my bet is that he did this just to get at his ex wife/girlfriend. And any many using his kid to get to his ex is an even bigger a$$.
If I am wrong and Mom is still with him she is an idiot.

I agree, I don't have a problem with him doing that. They are still gonna take her to disney world, just would rather the gift go to someone who hasn't beat cancer.

Did you folks even read the article?
Here is the reason he wouldn't sign...
The girl's father said he had a brief relationship with her mother. Now married to another woman, he said her mom was going to use the trip, in part, to go house-hunting in Florida to make his bi-weekly visitations more difficult.

in september of 2003 my only child was diagnosed with
Jul 19, 2012, 2:51 PM
|

an inoperable astrocytoma; he was 7 at the time.
the first week after the tumor was found is still a blurr. sometime after the tracking mris began, as hope continued to grow, i began thinking about the other children and families on the ward that week.
2 years after diagnosis, the worst apparently behind us, i wondered how many of those children made it off the ward; i wondered how many fights were lost.
in 2 months my son passes the 9 year period the doctors put in place to consider this behind him forever. i don't know what this man feels or thinks, i can only tell you having been through what i have with my son, there in no greater 'gift' for me than the life of my child. there is no greater gift my son will ever know.
if it were me, i'd want the disney gift to go to a child and family that won't know the gift i now hold above all others.
just a thought.
