Michael Feeney’s Best Day Ever
Facing any childhood illness causes great mental and physical stress for the sick children, their siblings, and their parents. Part of Michael Feeney’s Best Day Ever 's mission is to give these children and their families a "best day" by providing them with a small reprieve from their day-to-day and giving them a happy memory.
There are many benefits to receiving a "best day ever ", but the one that we believe is the most important is that allows the child to think about something fun instead of their illness. Michael was a great student, a comedian, a soccer player, an actor, a baseball player, a Giants fan, a Yankees fan, and a kid with cancer. He was lucky enough to have very few side effects and be well enough to go about his every day life more than most. That said, he still miss school on many days, missed camp, school trips, and just playing with friends because of surgeries, chemo treatments and side effects. We enjoyed some amazing best days, and the smiles he had are some of our fondest memories of him. To him, every fun thing was the best day ever.
