Brooks was born with neurofibroma- tosis, a disease which causes cancerous tumour growth. He had his first battle with two brain tumours when he was three and he endured treatment and therapy before being declared in remis- sion at the age of 14. The ordeal left him blind and suffer- ing from epilepsy and in 2016 he was di- agnosed with glioma (a type of brain and spinal cord tumour) and went for treatment at the Juravinski Cancer Centre. The disease and treatment eventually made him rely on a wheel- chair earlier this year. Yet Brooks - who died at age 28 onYet Brooks - who died at age 28 onY Sept. 23 at St. Peter's Hospital - graduat- ed from high school and college and worked at two jobs. Inspired by a brief meeting with Lance Armstrong at a To- ronto conference he became an avid cy- clist and helped found a now annual cy- cling fundraising event in 2007 at his high school called Inside Ride to raise money for childhood cancer charities. In 2008, he took part in the first Sears National Kids Cancer Ride between Vancouver and Halifax. He rode with 49Vancouver and Halifax. He rode with 49V others across the country - he was the youngest participant and his mother Janice went along - and raised $50,000 that year (including participation in In- side Ride) to put toward childhood can- cer charities and pediatric oncology programs and centres. "I never heard him complain a single day," said his sister Hannah Brooks, 29, a research co-ordinator at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto. "He was never upset. If you asked how he felt about this, he would say 'I'm living for today.' He would say, 'No, I'm happy.' When he came into a room he had the biggest smile on his face." The family is setting up a scholar- ship in Brooks' memory at his former high school, White Oaks Secondary School, where his sister says "he flour- ished." It will help special needs stu- dents and, with the support of family, friends and anyone who was touched byfriends and anyone who was touched byf Brooks, it has hit $10,000 since his death. The goal is $20,000 but his sister said they will raise as much as they can. "We will start with White Oaks but depending on how much money the community can raise, we hope to spread it widely," she said. "Andy dreamed big - we want his legacy to do the same." Brooks was born in Montreal and at- tended public school there. His father William worked in the pharmaceutical industry, including being a clinical di- rector at Apotex Inc. The family moved to Oakville in 2006 and then Hamilton in 2013. His mother is a reverend deacon at the Anglican Church of the Ascension in downtown Hamilton. Brooks graduated from a one-year program for special needs adults at Mo- hawk College in June 2016. He worked at a McDonald's restaurant in Oakville and, after coming to Hamilton, landed a job as a service clerk at the Fortinos grocery store on Dundurn Street. He was likely a well-known sight to some shoppers because he went up and down the street retrieving errant shopping carts. He enjoyed comic books, travelling ("his bucket list included the Grand Canyon and we did that," said his sister) and playing games on his Xbox. He was so well associated with Xbox that after he was cremated he was buried in a hol- lowed-out Xbox. "It's kind of weird, but he would have totally laughed and thought it was great," added Hannah. "He was just a very happy, happy kid." Brooks is survived by his parents William and Janice, and sisters Hannah and Greer, who is a hairstylist. He was predeceased by his longtime guide dog Boston.
