Christopher Franco

Christopher is a 13-year-old boy from Fleetwood, PA. On August 19, 2025, he had been experiencing back pain and fatigue for a few days. He went to urgent care, and I thought it would be a short visit. He’s 12 and active, so I assumed he had just played too hard.

​

After the doctor examined him, she knew something was off. She sent us to St. Joe’s Hospital in Bernville. They did blood work and said something wasn’t right, so they sent us to the Children’s Hospital in Hershey.

​

The following day, a doctor told me he thought it was blood cancer, but they were going to do further research to be sure. The next day, it was confirmed that he had B-cell ALL leukemia.

​

Christopher plays football for the Fleetwood Tigers and loves the Philadelphia Eagles. He’s a 7th grader at FMS.

​

He’s the strongest boy I know. He’s a fighter, but he’s my Warrior.

​

In the blink of an eye, his world was turned upside down. 💛
