Dream Kid Chad is a typical 13-year-old. He's got a great sense of humour and he does well in school. His favourite subject is science, aside from shops and gym. He's active and loves riding his bike.

But Chad has been through more than most teenagers. In March 2020, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma after doctors investigated a lump in his neck. He was all set to start chemotherapy when he and his family were presented the option of surgery.

Chad was the first child in Canada to have his type of cancer treated surgically. He woke up on his 11th birthday, cancer free! However, after a routine CT scan in the summer of 2021, doctors found that his cancer was back and in multiple places. The only option for treatment this time was chemotherapy.

Chad went through six rounds of treatment that resulted in four hospital stays. “Chad handled this whole experience amazingly,” his mom told us. “Of course, he’s had some hard moments, but for the most part he just accepted that this is happening. His outlook is, ‘okay, I have cancer now. What’s next?’'"

Chad had his last treatment in January 2022 and is now looking forward to a Dream Come True! His Dream is to visit the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida! And with your help, we can make Chad's Dream a reality!
