He’s had cancer. He’ll reach his 5 year survivor mark in August. He ❤️ Spider-Man, but after 120 blood transfusions, he’s more like Deadpool
Thank you for generously supporting Henry 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.
He loves Spider-Man. He's a crime fighter who helps normal people in need. His favorites are Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Batman. I think these would all be considered normal people who used their special abilities to help others.
Henry spent over 200 nights in Children's Hospital battling PH+ Leukemia. During his extended stay there, he was always visited by local superheroes who would stop by to spend time with the kids. There were times when he would be quarantined for months. During those times, staff or I would bring him costumes, so that he could dress up as his favorite superhero and roam the oncology halls visiting other kids.
Flying. It's the one thing I think that Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Batman all have in common. Henry, at times, wanted to fly away from the hospital and never return. Although he never got to fly away from the hospital, he did eventually get to leave. He has been in remission for over two years now and can now go to the movies and see the new Spider-Man movie just like all other normal kids. He's a good boy.
