My Story

Henry is an energetic, kind-hearted little boy who loves race cars, exploring the outdoors, and making people laugh. To those who know him, he's known for his smile, his determination, and the joy he brings to everyone around him. Our world changed when Henry was diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL). Overnight, our lives became centered around hospital visits, chemotherapy, medications, and countless procedures. Watching your child fight cancer is something no parent can ever truly prepare for. Through every treatment, every setback, and every victory, Henry has shown a strength far beyond his years. His courage has inspired our family, friends, and everyone who has had the privilege of meeting him. While childhood cancer has taken away so many ordinary moments, it has also taught us to treasure every good day, every laugh, and every milestone. Today, Henry is in the maintenance phase of treatment and is looking forward to ringing the bell to celebrate the end of his leukemia treatment this September. We know that milestone is only possible because of the research, doctors, nurses, and organizations that have dedicated themselves to finding better treatments for children with cancer. By supporting St. Baldrick's, you're doing more than donating or shaving your head—you are giving hope to children like Henry and to every family facing a childhood cancer diagnosis. Every dollar raised helps fund lifesaving research so that more children can grow up to chase their dreams. Thank you for honoring Henry's journey and for standing with families like ours in the fight against childhood cancer.
