We were heartbroken to learn that our young Dreamer, Cameren, age 14, earned his angel wings earlier this week.  

Cameren was already very sick when he was referred to us, but that didn’t stop us from trying to make his Dream come true. He told us that he loves music, plays the drums, and his favorite band is Avenged Sevenfold.  

When we found out that Avenged Sevenfold would be playing in Raleigh before they take off for their European tour, we got straight to work trying to get Cam to the show.  

Unfortunately, Cam was too sick on the day of the concert and was unable to attend. However, we reached out to band and their lead singer, M. Shadows, sent a personal video message to Cam.  

“I heard you weren’t going to be able to join us tomorrow, which makes us very sad,” he stated, adding, “but we’ll be thinking of you and we will dedicate the set to you.” He went on to tell Cam to stay strong and he was sorry he couldn’t make it.  

“That brought such a smile to Cam’s face and tears to my eyes!” His mother said. “How wonderful M. Shadows is for sending well wishes and to dedicate the show to Cam! I can’t thank you enough.” 

Sadly, Cam passed away just a few weeks later and did not get to see his favorite band play. However, it brings us great joy to know that Avenged Sevenfold, specifically, M. Shadows, made the day of this deserving young man. We will forever be Avenged Sevenfold fans at Toby’s Dream Foundation.
