The Story Behind Our Mission

ABOUT MASON

Mason was a healthy, active seven-year-old who loved sports, dirt bikes, the outdoors, and spending time with family and friends. In September 2013, after experiencing problems with his eyesight, an MRI revealed a tumor on his brain stem.

Over the next three and a half years, Mason faced two major brain surgeries at Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, proton radiation, chemotherapy, and countless medical appointments with remarkable courage and resilience. After the tumor returned in 2016, genomic testing confirmed that it was glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.

On February 27, 2017, just days before his 11th birthday, Mason left this life and entered his eternal home in Heaven.

While our hearts were forever changed by his loss, his courage, strength, and incredible spirit continue to inspire us every day. Mason’s story did not end that day. His legacy lives on through Mason’s Hope Foundation and every child and family we have the honor of helping in his name.
