Eight-year-old Braylon Simon’s own experience at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Columbus, made him want to do something for other children who are patients there.
In April, 2018, Braylon, son of Jonathan and Kayla Simon of Bluffton, was diagnosed with Stage 3 Nodular Lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
After four rounds of aggressive chemo, he is in his ninth month of remission.
To celebrate his first year of being cancer free – in August – he wants to have a toy drive for the Hematology and Oncology floors at Nationwide hospital, where he was treated.
