On March 21, 2012, when most kids were just getting off of the school bus, 11 year old Isaiah Martin was on his way to the emergency room.  His teacher called his father earlier that day with concerns that Isaiah was a little disoriented throughout the day and seemed to have troubles walking without stumbling a little.  After hearing all of the symptoms from the teacher, he immediately thought to bring him to the emergency room.  After a short time, Isaiah and his father would learn that Isaiah had a brain tumor that was not only extremely rare, but also incurable.  On t

On March 21, 2012, when most kids were just getting off of the school bus, 11 year old Isaiah Martin was on his way to the emergency room.  His teacher called his father earlier that day with concerns that Isaiah was a little disoriented throughout the day and seemed to have troubles walking without stumbling a little.  After hearing all of the symptoms from the teacher, he immediately thought to bring him to the emergency room.  After a short time, Isaiah and his father would learn that Isaiah had a brain tumor that was not only extremely rare, but also incurable.  On this day, everything changed for Isaiah and his family. Until now, Isaiah had always been a healthy child full of energy and life.

For the past 8 years, Isaiah has always had such a special place in my heart.  He has been our neighbor and such a great friend to both of my sons.  As a family, our immediate reaction to Isaiah’s tumor was pure sadness.  As a mother, I could not even imagine what his family was going through.  After hearing about Isaiah’s treatment plan that also included a lot of traveling, it came to my realization that something needed to take place to help the family financially.  It is not often that we find ourselves confused and enlightened at the same time. But in this case, the combination of the two gave me an idea that could possibly work!

As the owner of HootieAvenue.com, which is normally a landing pad for creative ideas, Hooties and loads of ninjas, I felt that this could be a possible solution. Isaiah always loved the little scented ninjas and his favorite colors were red and black.  So, why not create a little ninja in his favorite colors, choose a few of his favorite scents, and sell them online with 100% of the proceeds to go to the Martin family!  After talking to Isaiah’s father and of course Isaiah, the master mind behind the design of the ninja, Isaiah the Ninja was created and ready to start his mission!  The response has been overwhelming and this little ninja is kicking butt and taking names!

Joining Team Ninja, will not only help the family fill in the gaps financially, but it will also help Isaiah’s father spend time with him during his critical illness.  While we are certain that Isaiah may beat the odds, we would like to make sure that on the days that he is feeling well enough to have fun, HE WILL HAVE FUN!
