My Story

Thank you for honoring and supporting Harrison as well as 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.  Harrison was diagnosed with T Lymphoblastic Lymphoma at the age of twelve when a mediastinal mass was discovered in his chest. T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL) is a rare form of aggressive non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He received intensive chemotherapy regimens, including medication through his spine to prevent spread to the central nervous system. After he relapsed, he received a stem cell (bone marrow) transplant. The transplant was a success and Harrison accepted his donor's cells 100%. Shortly after returning home from transplant though, another mass was discovered. The doctors made a specialized treatment plan using immunotherapy drugs and radiation. However, Harrison's immune system was too weak to accept the treatment and he passed away on March 20, 2018 at Lehigh Valley Hospital.  Harrison is an inspiration to many, both in his life and afterward. He is loved beyond measure and missed beyond words. His legacy is our reason to continue fighting for other families and children battling this horrible disease. If you would like to further support Harrison and his family, please also visit the Team Harrison LLC page on Facebook for more events and fundraising opportunities aimed to support children and their families battling pediatric cancer.
