Who Is Miles Perret?

One of the most devastating things a parent must hear is that their child has cancer. That was the reality for a Lafayette family when their little boy, Miles Perret, was diagnosed with the disease in 1995.

A young Lafayette boy named Miles Perret was diagnosed with cancer, and just a short time later, in 1996, he succumbed to a glioblastoma, which is a brain tumor.

Miles' parents and family wanted Miles to have a life as usual and carefree as possible. What they also learned was how to deal with the challenges people with cancer and their families deal with daily.
