Childhood Cancer Warrior: Henry

On September 27th, 2024, Henry was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma called Burkitt’s lymphoma. The following day, Henry had a major abdominal surgery to remove a golf ball sized tumor in his intestines. By the grace of God, Henry’s cancer was caught before it spread. After two intense rounds of chemo, he rang the bell on November 21st surrounded by his doctors and nurses and friends and family from Midland, Austin and Houston. 

Long before we knew what his journey would look like, Henry chose this verse to get him through his battle – Psalm 28:7 “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.” We are in awe of his faith, strength and joy in the midst of the darkest and scariest days we could ever have imagined.
