Braylon's toy drive underway

Third year of new toy collection for the Hematology and Oncology floors at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus

Note: The Icon has followed Braylon Simon’s story since 2019. Here’s an update on Braylon’s Toy Drive, now underway. This is Braylon’s story written by his mom.

After a year and a half of doctors, specialists, multiple tests and finally surgery, Braylon was diagnosed with Stage 3 Nodular Lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in April of 2018. He was 7 at the time.

He went through four rounds of chemotherapy and in August, 2018, he was able to ring the bell!

Look very closely

If you look very closely at this photo, near the bottom center, you'll see a small preying mantis on a red leaf. This guy appears to live on this flower located in the Icon's side yard. It's about one-inch long. Check your flowers. Perhaps there's one watching you on one of your own plants.
