We’ve reached 75% of our first $1,000 fundraising milestone for the Childhood Cancer Hall — and this moment is about more than a number. Every dollar represents a story honored, a family seen, and a community choosing to build something meaningful together. Brick by brick, heart by heart, the Hall is becoming real.

Meet Dietrich — the newest member of the Childhood Cancer Hall family and a living tribute to OdieBoy. A three-year-old Weimaraner from Ontario, Canada, Dietrich embodies loyalty, strength, and light-hearted joy. More than a beloved companion, he represents the profound impact pets can have for children facing cancer, offering comfort, consistency, and unconditional presence during life’s hardest moments. Through Dietrich, we are reminded that healing often arrives quietly — on four paws — and that love, once given, never truly leaves.

DREAM BIG — The Hall of Champions began with one family’s love and grew into a story that belongs to all of us. It’s a touching tale of imagination, empathy, and the everyday courage children show when life becomes overwhelming — a reminder that hope always finds a way in.

Childhood cancer is surrounded by questions, assumptions, and myths that can make families feel even more alone. The truth is simpler — and gentler. Children are not defined by their diagnosis but by their courage, their curiosity, and the way they keep dreaming through the hardest moments. Here are eight myths we can finally lay to rest.

The Childhood Cancer Hall of Champions began as a simple dream: a place where children’s courage could live forever. This is the heart behind the Hall — why we’re building it, how it grows brick by brick, and what it will one day become for families searching for hope, connection, and legacy.
