Bryce was diagnosed with stage 4 malignant rhabdoid tumor of the liver when he was 15 months old.
Our little boy went from a happy, healthy toddler, to fighting for his life in just a couple short weeks. We spent most of the next almost four months at Children’s hospital in Minneapolis while Bryce underwent intense treatment. He fought with such courage and strength, all the while bringing joy and love to everyone he came in contact with.
He was known for roaming the hallways in a t-shirt and diaper, always with an animal or princess (stolen from his sister) in his hand to show his favorite nurses. His headstone says it perfectly; with sparkling eyes and a heart of gold, he touched more lives than we will ever know.
Over five years later we still hear stories of how he changed the lives of people he knew, and many that simply followed his story. We fundraise for CureSearch and participate in the Superhero’s Unite Walk because no child should have to suffer like Bryce did. No family should have to endure losing one they love so dearly.
