Lawson is a fighter we’re all fighting for!

GCC’ers, say “HI” to our newest ambassador… 5-year-old Lawson! 👋

Lawson (pictured right) is a cheeky little guy who loves to make people laugh, and has a close bond with his twin brother, Lennox. 🧡

He is also bravely fighting rhabdomyosarcoma.✊

Lawson was diagnosed in late February 2025, after imaging revealed a mass on his prostate.

He started intensive chemotherapy treatment immediately, and also underwent 28 rounds of proton therapy in the summer of 2025.

In early 2026, he finally transitioned into the maintenance phase of treatment… but there were more bumps in the road to come. 😔

In April, Lawson began experiencing new and concerning symptoms including increasing pain, difficulty urinating, and extreme fatigue. An emergency MRI showed that his tumour had grown significantly. He needed surgery to reroute his bladder through ureterostomies.

Further testing showed that some cancer cells had not responded to previous treatment, and had mutated, causing new growth.

His care team recommended relapse chemotherapy which is much stronger than the treatment he previously received. It takes a serious toll on little bodies.

Lawson began relapse chemo in late April, and he continues to receive treatment while showing incredible maturity and courage every step of the way.

Come on GCC'ers, let's show Lawson that we're with him all the way! 🚴
