Our Story

In January of 2022 at the age of 4, Benjamin was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH), a rare disease and and form cancer. After undergoing a year of treatment his scans showed that he was CANCER-FREE! His one year post-treatment scans in January 2024 showed that he continued to be in remission. We're beyond hopeful, in fact, we believe absolutely, that his January 2025 scan results will continue to show NED (No Evidence of Disease). 


Benjamin is truly an inspiring superhero in spite of all he's been through in his short 7 years. He treats every hospital visit like a special adventure and is well known for being happy, positive, kind, affectionate, enthusiastic, inclusive and for the wonderful sense of humour that pairs perfectly with his big smile and contagious laugh.


After his diagnosis my aunt surprised him with a very special superhero cape she'd made. For 3 years and counting he's insisted on wearing it to every treatment, surgery, scan, and appointment.


They say not all superheroes wear capes but ours does, as does his team of supporters on race day. On May 11th look for a sea of blue capes flying down Yonge Street. These people represent some of Benjamin's biggest cheerleaders and they run alongside us because understand how much Campfire Circle has meant to our family throughout our journey as an oncology family.
