Reed was diagnosed with a grade 4 glioma, an aggressive brain tumor, in June 2022 at the age of four and a half. He navigated three long years of treatment with endless humor and optimism. Reed was a kind, compassionate, and joyful child. He was the best hugger and the most amazing, kind, and patient big brother. He loved books, dancing, swimming, and learning facts about animals and important people in history. Reed’s tumor recurred in August 2023, December 2024, and again in June 2025. He entered hospice care in July 2025 because there were no additional treatment options we could pursue given the extent of his disease. Reed died at home, surrounded by the love of his family, on August 15, 2025. Since the day of Reed’s diagnosis, we have been committed to helping advance pediatric brain tumor research in any way we can, so that one day other families do not have to experience this pain and heartbreak. We are grateful to Reed’s medical team and the pediatric cancer community for their tireless work to find more effective treatments. Thank you for supporting the more than 300,000 kids worldwide who will be diagnosed with cancer this year. By sharing the gifts of your time, talent and money with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, you're supporting research to give all kids with cancer a better chance for a cure.
