Some stories start with heroes.
This one starts with two boys, a dog, and an idea.
An idea that maybe — just maybe — kids can change the world.
In Dream Big, two brothers set out on an adventure that begins with imagination and grows into something much bigger than they ever expected. Along the way, they discover that courage isn’t about being fearless.
Meet the Big Dreamers
Michael
The older brother and natural leader.
Michael is thoughtful, determined, and always thinking about the bigger picture. Whether on the soccer field or working on new ideas, he believes that courage and kindness can change the world.
When he sees children at the hospital across the street, his heart opens to a new possibility: what if they could do something meaningful to support them?
That question becomes the beginning of a mission.
Meet Max
The younger brother with unstoppable energy.
Max approaches life with curiosity and excitement. Whether he’s on the hockey rink or sketching ideas for the Hall of Champions, he’s always ready to jump into the next adventure.
Max reminds everyone around him that big dreams often start with bold questions and a willingness to try.
And don’t forget OdieBoy
The loyal companion.
OdieBoy is a silver Weimaraner with bright eyes, a wagging tail, and a golden ribbon proudly displayed on his red bandana. More than a pet, he’s a steady presence in every step of the journey.
Whether visiting children in the hospital or joining the boys in their planning sessions, OdieBoy represents something simple but powerful: sometimes the greatest comfort comes from quiet loyalty and love.
Where the Dream Began
One afternoon, while playing in the park, the boys notice something across the street — children at the hospital who are fighting cancer but still finding ways to laugh and play.
That moment sparks a question:
What if we did something BIG for them?
What follows is the beginning of a mission to create the Hall of Champions — a place that honors the courage of children and families facing childhood cancer.
What began as an idea between two brothers and their dog slowly grows into something much bigger.
A community.
A movement.
A legacy of hope.
While the story of Dream Big is fiction, the courage it celebrates is very real.
Every day, children facing cancer show extraordinary strength, resilience, and bravery.
The Dream Big boys represent what can happen when compassion turns into action — and when people of all ages decide to stand beside those who need it most.
More Than a Story
Join the movement and contribute to hope.
The story doesn’t end when the book closes.
The mission continues through the Childhood Cancer Hall of Champions, where stories of courage, hope, and community come together to support children and families facing childhood cancer.
Because every champion deserves to be remembered.
And every dream deserves the chance to grow.
