Read Chance's Story

Chance is a sweet, calm, and kind-hearted ten-year-old who loves Legos and video games. He also loves riding his bike and learning how everything works.
n
nChance had been experiencing cold-like symptoms since October of 2021 but tested negative for Covid. In late December Chance’s symptoms became much worse and complications set in.
n
nHe was taken to the hospital where doctors discovered his kidneys were starting to fail and a mass was discovered in his left lung. He was transferred to Doernbecher Children’s hospital. Multiple tests revealed he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
n
nChance’s treatments started immediately with two weeks of intensive chemotherapy. He is still in the beginning stages of his journey, and he has a long fight ahead of him.
n
nFor now, he must endure lumbar punctures, bone marrow tests and is still in the induction phase of his treatment.
n
nDespite all of this, Chance remains positive and enjoys Star Wars movies and riding his bike.
n
nChance will be adopted as a Sparrow at Reynolds High School. Students will work hard to raise money for him through sponsored community service.
