Meet Maven! Maven is a 13-year-old boy who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, at just 12 years old.His tumor was located in his pelvis, requiring him to undergo a major surgery called a hemipelvectomy, where a portion of his pelvis was removed to get rid of the tumor. At one point, doctors thought they would have to amputate his leg from the hip down, but thankfully, they were able to save it.

Before cancer entered his life, Maven was all boy! He loved being active and playing sports, including soccer, football, basketball, and jiu-jitsu. He had so many dreams and things he loved doing, and although cancer has changed so much about his life, it has never changed who he is at heart.

Maven is also the BIGGEST St. Louis Blues fan, and one of his biggest dreams is to meet Robert Thomas! He has an older sister whom he looks up to, even though he would probably never admit it. He is also a huge animal lover.

One of the most incredible things about Maven is his personality. Through surgeries, chemotherapy, hospital stays, and everything cancer has thrown his way, he has continued to shine. He has a way of making everyone around him smile, from his family to his nurses and doctors. His jokes, big personality, and ability to make people laugh even on the hardest days are truly something special.

Cancer may have changed his childhood, but it has not taken away his spirit. Maven is proof that even in the hardest circumstances, a little boy’s light can shine brighter than ever.

If you know Maven, you know that he will absolutely brighten your day. He is one of a kind, and we are so incredibly proud of the strength, courage, and joy he continues to show every single day. ️
