Arky beat Neuroblastoma cancer that relapsed to his brain. 5 years of treatment finished less then a year ago. Arky LOVES life and adventure
Thank you for generously supporting Arky in this year’s competition. Your participation made a huge impact for The Stan Lee Foundation and their mission to promote literacy and the narrative arts.
Arky loves spider man because he is all over the place jumping around just like he loves to do and is from New york, where we went for experimental treatment once the cancer spread to his brain. Iron man because he has a chemo port too and is real strong and smart. Of course Deadpool because Deadpool because he can relate because of the cancer. I heard Stan Lee approves of Deadpool too.
I told him he was a real life superhero before he was old enough to understand he went through years of cancer treatment. I would tell him that the reason he had so many scars was because he was a superhero and his powers were so strong that they were destroying his body so we had to get surgeries, medicine and scans to stop them. He also became radioactive every three months, and would have to keep away from me especially while I was pregnant, so I also told him we were regenerating his nerves.
He would definitely make sure no other kids got sick, eliminate needles and invent a medicine to live forever. He would probably sleep in a camper while saving the earth from illnesses as he is always talking about owning one and going on adventures when he is old enough to drive. For now, he may need a chauffeur or a side kick!
