Meet Keaton Kiddo ~ Sam

Meet Keaton kiddo, Sam. Sam is a kind 10-year-old, with a love for roller coasters, video games, Star Wars, and Marvel. This past February, Sam was diagnosed with Diffusive Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a highly aggressive brain tumor that occurs in the area of the brainstem.

As Sam stays brave during these strenuous times, Keaton’s team had the honor of creating a personalized Hope Chest for this sweet kiddo and also supported him and his family with a financial grant.

Along with the Keaton’s team, please send warm and positive wishes to Sam and his family and help them in their fight against pediatric cancer, as we remind them that #TogetherWeFight.
