Robert was only nine years old, but he left a mark on this world that time can never erase. He was a kid in the truest sense, full of curiosity, laughter, and a spirit that refused to be defined by hospitals or hard days. Even while facing childhood cancer, Robert remained brave in ways that inspired everyone around him. He reminded us that being strong doesn’t mean being fearless; it means being yourself, even when life is unfair. Though Robert’s life was far too short, his impact is endless. He is remembered in every head shaved, every dollar raised, and every step taken toward curing childhood cancer. Robert represents not only the fight against cancer, but the hope that one day no child will have to endure it. We honor Robert for who he was—a son, a brother, a friend, and a hero. His story lives on through love, remembrance, and the determination to create a future where children get to grow up. Forever nine. Forever loved. Forever our reason to keep fighting.
