Ben Survivor In early 2019, four-year-old Ben was constantly getting sick. In a short time, he dealt with strep, an ear infection, and two different strains of the flu. When he started getting pain in his hips that made him unable to walk, his family realized there was something more going on.

Almost every day after school, we would go to the park so he could run around and play. He was starting to learn to ride bikes when his feet started to hurt. We all know little kids get hurt, but something was different this time.

Soon, the pain progressed to a stiff neck and loss of appetite. Just two weeks later, after multiple tests and doctor appointments, Courtney and her husband would hear the words that every parent fears: "Your child has cancer." Cayden was diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a high-risk form of blood cancer.

In February 2018, Krew developed a series of grey spots on his body, so his parents took him to their pediatrician. Later that month, after being referred to a dermatologist, they received confirmation that their precious, five-month-old son had Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
