A Lasting Legacy
Leo lived a short but extremely full life. He wanted to try and do it all. He loved playing basketball and soccer and cheering on the Jaguars at the stadium. He was academically gifted and performed in children’s theater. Leo loved book series like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, video games and music. Leo was preparing to enter into an arts-based middle school, where he hoped to grow as a pianist and actor.
Our family is honored to partner with Fourth and Gold to share Leo’s story and grow his legacy, while raising funds and awareness for the development of less-toxic treatments for pediatric cancer. The current treatments children receive are designed for adults and too harsh for small, developing bodies. If a child is lucky enough to survive their cancer, they have a 95% chance of developing long-term side effects, including secondary cancer and other fatal complications due to the harsh treatments they receive. We can do better! Raising money to help fund trials and research for gentler cancer treatments that are specifically designed for children is the goal.
Brynley Piper Richardson gained her angel wings at the very young age of 3 on August 26th 2024. “Bryn Bear”, as the family called her, fought a very long and tough battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and ultimately she won her battle in heaven.
Although Brynley was fighting cancer for most of her life, she made the most of every second and never let it slow her down. She was always game to play with her big brother or wrestle with her Lucky puppy. Sports were in the girl’s blood. She loved her Jaguars, Icemen, Sharks, OSU Cowboys and any team her brother played for. She was destined to be a cheerleader! Her favorite athlete was always and will always be her BUBBA. Go Bubba, Go Bubba, Go!
