KENNEWICK -- Here on Action News, we've been following the story of a young Kennewick boy, diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer.

Doctors gave Aidan Zaugg a few months to live but he has made it for more than a year.

As rare as this type of brain cancer is, another young boy also from Kennewick has been diagnosed with the same form of brain cancer.

4 year old Cooper Larson's family talks about the support and comfort they're getting knowing they're not alone.

"Today was his last day of radiation therapy. Minus the haircut, you wouldn't know he has a disease. He's in great spirits, he's happy running around just like a 4 year old should," said Angela Larson.

Angela Larson is Cooper's mom.

Last month, doctors gave him just 3 months to live, a diagnosis every child with this rare form of brain cancer gets.

Even, Aidan Zaugg.

That was more than a year ago.

"I've gotten a little more faith looking at Aidan because he's doing well and we can only hope Cooper will do as well as Aidan responding to treatment," said Angela.

"We literally had a better percentage of winning mega-millions then our child being diagnosed with this cancer, to have 2 kids in the same town, is practically unheard of," said Tanya Zaugg.

Tanya Zaugg is Aidan's mom.

Despite what doctor's said, this 6 year old boy has beat out the odds.

Tanya says, it was heart breaking to hear about cooper, knowing what they're little boy has been through.

But she too finds faith, looking at her son that cooper will be o-k.

"Not only have we gone through this so we can help them through the process, Aidan is a beacon of hope, said Tanya.

People worldwide email the Zaugg's looking for hope.

Hope they can give the Larson's.

"It sounds so small, but its huge we can hold their hand," said Tanya.

The Larson's say, it's a blessing to have people to talk to, who have been through it and a community that cares.

"There's that many people with huge hearts out there that want to do whatever they can, people who don't even know us," said Angela.

"It takes faith in the impossible, it takes believing miracles are possible," said Tanya.

The name of this cancer is Brainstem Glioma.

Only 200 kids nationwide get this disease, it's in-operable.

A spaghetti feed and silent auction is being held to raise money for cooper's medical expenses in a few weeks.
