Meet Keaton Kiddo ~ Adrian

Meet sweet boy, Adrian. At just 3-years-old, Adrian began his fight against Acute T-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a blood cancer that is more common in children than it is in adults.

With Adrian’s parents at bedside, Keaton’s team feels honored to support Adrian and his family throughout his journey with the gesture of a financial grant and a Hope Chest created for him and his sister. In the Hope Chest, our wonderful volunteers made sure to incorporate some of Adrian’s favorite interests, such as dinosaurs and monster trucks. Little sister Azaliya was also thrilled to play with her new toys and bond with her big brother!

The Family Navigator team at Keaton’s will continue to support this brave family in their fight for Adrian against childhood cancer!

While the focus is understandably on the child battling cancer, siblings face their own emotional challenges. They may experience feelings of worry, fear, confusion, or even guilt, and it’s important to acknowledge their role and provide support for them as well.
