In 2023, Michael was diagnosed with Bโcell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, just one week before Halloween. ๐
This photo was taken during that first week. Instead of trickโorโtreating, Michael spent Halloween in the PICU, wearing his Chase from Paw Patrol costume while lying in a hospital bed, surrounded by monitors and machines he had never seen before.
Bโcell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (BโALL) is the most common form of childhood leukemia, accounting for the majority of cases in children. In the United States alone, about 3,100 children and adolescents under 20 are diagnosed with ALL each year, most of them Bโcell type.
For Michael, cancer didnโt arrive gradually; it arrived all at once, turning life upside down in days.
This Christmas, Weโre on a mission to give Michael a break from the chaos, a Dream Trip to Disney World & Give Kids The World ๐ฐโจ A chance to just be a kid again!
Be part of Michaelโs journey and help get him to Mickey! ยฐoยฐ
