Community Rallies Behind North Wales Boy With Brain Tumor

NORTH WALES, PA -- Ryan Naulty of North Wales recently discovered he had a brain tumor. The community has rallied behind him in support.

More than $13,000 has been donated to Ryan, a student at Pennbrook Middle School in the North Penn School District, according to his GoFundMe fundraising page.

His family said they discovered he had severe endocrine issues, which led them to the doctors:

This led us to CHOP where we then discovered Ryan has a brain tumor. It is inoperable. He will need treatment from March to October. Then constant testing & monitoring for the next five years. Due to the biopsy he has double vision & no depth perception. He will need neuro-opthamologic surgery. Many people have asked, " how can I help?" So through the urging of my siblings I decided to create this page. Those of you who know my sweet Ryan realize how difficult this is. Your support is much appreciated. If preferred you can donate blood through Red Cross or CHOP or send cards & encouragement to Ryan. We plan to battle against cancer & win.
