“You’re big. I’ve fought bigger.”– Thor

Name: Edward

Interests: Superheroes, Star Wars, Harry Potter, dancing

Diagnosis: Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Cap Hero: Thor (Chris Hemsworth)

When you have a scary disease like Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, you need hope and a little fun to get you through. For a twelve-year-old boy named Edward who had to endure three rounds of chemotherapy, a cap signed by Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, was just the thing. 

Today, after all that chemo, a stem cell transplant and radiation, Edward is in remission. We like to think that while Thor has his hammer, Edward has his cap.

“The look on his face when he saw that Chris Hemsworth signed his hat! He was so excited and proud to have something so special. ” – Edward’s mom
