Read Bryson's Story

Bryson is a bright, determined, and enthusiastic 5-year-old boy who loves Baby Yoda! His favorite colors are blue and gold and always has a smile on his face!
n
nIn January of 2021, Bryson went down for a nap at school and his teacher had a tough time waking him up after complaining his head and neck hurt.
n
nHis parents took him to the hospital, but doctors did not seem concerned. Bryson continued to sleep for nearly 18 hours a day and was unable to keep food down.
n
nOn February 15, after four urgent care visits, Bryson had an MRI where doctors discovered a brain tumor.
n
nAt the age of four, Bryson had brain surgery, where doctors removed both the tumor and fluid around the brain. Biopsies revealed he had a rare type of aggressive brain cancer called ATRT. He started chemotherapy a month later.
n
nBryson has a long fight ahead with chemotherapy and the side effects that come with all the treatments. Despite all of this, he is a fighter and never lets anything get him down.
n
nBryson will be adopted as a Sparrow to West Sylvan Middle School. Students will work hard to raise money for Bryson through sponsored community service.
