In episode 19, we are joined by 12-year-old Jackson and his mom, Kellie.

In this conversation, Jackson shares his experience with a childhood brain tumour, his recovery, and his love for sports. Kellie offers a parent’s perspective on navigating the uncertainty that comes with a diagnosis and learning to take things one day at a time.

This year, Jackson was a Kingston Grenadiers SUPERKID and honorary captain at the Grens Tackle Tumours event. Together, Jackson and Kellie reflect on this unforgettable moment and how it served as a powerful reminder of just how far Jackson has come.
