Friday night Alex’s Army was honored to once again be at the Battlefield High School Homecoming and GoldOut football game!
There are so many stories to tell in each one of these pictures…it’s overwhelming to get to see the amazing community and kids at BHS come out and support their peers fighting cancer. From Alex’s friends and cousins (now seniors) supporting other peers, childhood cancer survivors & other fighters supporting their peers, to just seeing kids ask us about the kids fighting and truly wanting to learn more and help, it was a powerful evening in many ways!
There was lots of love for our sweet friend Kendall – a BHS student who is almost finished with her treatment for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. As we know fighting cancer takes away so many things…and Kendall was so bummed to miss Homecoming, but her classmates made sure to send her a TON of LOVE so she knew she is LOVED and that she has an army behind her every step of the way!
Childhood Cancer Survivor Brodie Carroll #33 carried the American Flag and led his team out onto the field Friday night. On his sleeves he wrote Ryland Strong, AG for our Alex, and For All Kids. He is a beast on the field but off the field is is one of the sweetest, most compassionate faith-filled kids you might ever meet.
His mom shared “Even at a young age Brodie understands the gravity of the gift he’s been given. He doesn’t take that lightly and goes full throttle in everything he does. He also holds tightly those we should remember, he doesn’t forget.
We have a TON of pics from the game, thank you to everyone who stopped by our tent to show Kendall some love & to join us in taking a stand in the fight against childhood cancer!
