NEW YORK -- As an adult, it's easy to forget how much fun the simplistic life of being a child once was. But the Muddy Puddles Project is here to remind us.
Cindy and Louis Campbell's son, Ty, was diagnosed with brain cancer at age 2. While going through his treatment, they asked Ty what he wanted to do once he felt better.
Ty said, "I'm gonna jump in a muddy puddle," just like his favorite cartoon Peppa Pig. Unfortunately, his health never improved enough for him to do so.
After their son lost his almost three-year battle with brain cancer in 2012, the Campbells asked those they knew to celebrate his life in the way Ty would have: by jumping in a muddy puddle.
