The vital importance of continued research efforts in the fight against childhood cancer – St. Baldrick’s Foundation
St. Baldrick’s Foundation shared a post on LinkedIn:
“In December 2011, just over two years old, Brody was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Too young to understand, he believed frequent hospital visits, chemotherapy, and having a port were normal parts of childhood.
Brody endured numerous procedures, including bone marrow biopsies and spinal taps, with frequent hospitalizations due to fevers and low blood counts. Despite the challenges, his parents shielded him from the reality of his cancer diagnosis until after his treatment was complete.
Now in remission, Brody is passionate about raising awareness for childhood cancer and has been shaving for St. Baldrick’s for three years. Inspired by the care he received, he aspires to become a pediatric oncology nurse, dedicating his life to helping children facing similar battles.
His journey exemplifies the power of resilience, support, and the vital importance of continued research and fundraising efforts in the fight against childhood cancer.
Aspire to be like Brody and take action today.”
