Last night Brendan and other children who have battled or continue to battle cancer were invited to the Blackhawks Hockey Fights Cancer night. Make-A-Wish Illinois invited Brendan and three other wish kids to go onto the ice for a special purple carpet ceremony. What a wonderful memory for B and the entire family! 💜 I’ll share a video in a separate post.

The moment you’ve all been waiting for - Brendan’s wish came true!!! His wish to meet Coyote Peterson and catch a salamander was more than he and the entire family ever expected. This video is amazing and captures Brendan’s happiness and joy, and it shows just what a cool, compassionate, and caring human being Coyote Peterson is. Be Brave, Stay Wild! 💙

It’s been awhile since we’ve posted! Just want to share some fun news that B will finally be getting his wish granted by Make-A-Wish Illinois. Brendan’s wish is to catch a salamander with Animal Planet’s Coyote Peterson! B and his family will travel to OH next week to meet him in person and catch a beloved salamander. 🦎
Last night his volunteer hosted a send-off party at Dave & Buster’s. We are all so happy for you, Brendan! Your wish is coming true. 💫

In honor of Brendan, Forever Molly Strong, and all children who deserve research to help eradicate all types of pediatric cancer, this is an incredible announcement! Lincoln & Emerson Middle Schools in Park Ridge, IL have raised over $448,000 (and still going!) for St. Baldricks! Over 300 students and teachers participated, and Brendan’s cousin, Lucas, was one of them. We couldn’t be prouder of these students who shaved for the brave! 💚

If you’d like to help champion this school in reaching their goal of $500,000, the link is below!
