My Story

Landon was an active 7 year old who loved all things sports and friends. Out of nowhere, he started experiencing headaches that resulted in vomiting and I knew this wasn't normal. After a trip to the ER, a CT scan showed a mass in his brain. He was diagnosed with medulloblastoma in October 2020. He went through 30 rounds of radiation and almost a year of chemo and was declared to have no evidence of disease in December 2021. He finally got to be a kid again for the next two years. In May 2024, a regular MRI detected a recurrence. Landon is currently in treatment, battling this beast for a 2nd time. He continues to excel in school and play the sports he loves.
