FRAMINGHAM, MA<\/strong> - Tramiris Anthony is a 9 year old boy from Framingham, MA. He has always been a healthy, happy and athletic child, enjoying sports, videogames and, of course, playing with his friends.<\/p>\n

In early April, just three months after his ninth birthday, Tramiris wasn't feeling well -- he awoke one night with severe dizziness and vomiting, symptoms which continued over the next few days.<\/p>\n

Doctors suspected a virus, but when his nausea persisted over the following weeks he was ordered to undergo an MRI, revealing a tumor in his cerebellum.<\/p>\n

After surgery at Children's Hospital in Boston to remove the growth, doctors diagnosed Tramiris with pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) with anpalastic features, an exceedingly rare form of brain cancer.<\/p>\n

Tramiris is now being seen at Dana Farber, where they will continue to monitor his status over the following months<\/p>\n

Treatment will likely include more surgery, as radiation and chemotherapy have not been shown to be effective in treating PXA.<\/p>\n

Tramiris is now at home with his mother, Nicole, and will continue moving forward day by day.<\/p>\n

Team Tramiris was created to help this young man from Framingham who is having a health crisis and needs our help.<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

To help raise funds, a raffle for (2) Tickets to the Stanley Cup Finals Boston Bruins vs. Vancouver Canucks have been graciously donated by Patty and Roger Dilbarian.<\/em><\/h2>\n

The tickets are to Game 4 - Wed June 8th - Section 19. Seats are end of row next to the sports deck. Tickets face value are $190 each and market value is $700+ each. These are awesome seats, an incredible opportunity to see Boston Bruins History and a great way to raise money for Tramiris.<\/p>\n

Raffle tickets are $20 each.<\/strong> To purchase raffle tickets, contact Heather Connolly by sending email to: heatheratconnolly@comcast.net<\/a> (All checks should be made payable to Tramiris Anthony Support Trust)<\/em><\/p>\n
