Summer Classic Fore Maine Kids
Meet Grayson and Elliot, two of the kids you’ll be helping when you tee off at the Summer Classic Fore Maine Kids. Grayson was 22-months-old when he was diagnosed with B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. As the hours turned into days, weeks, and months, his family leaned on Grayson’s bravery for inspiration. They also found hope when they learned that he’d soon be a big brother. Elliot was born a couple of years into Grayson’s treatments. As Grayson fought a scary battle with leukemia at Northern Light Pediatric Cancer Care in Brewer, Elliot unexpectedly spent her first few days fighting for her life in the neonatal intensive care unit in Bangor.
Today these siblings are thriving, and it isn’t lost on their parents how critically important children’s hospitals are to kids’ health. It also is never far from their hearts how important donors are to making sure high quality health care is available for kids, close to home.
