💙 Meet Landon 💙

Landon is a loving, kind-hearted soul who makes friends wherever he goes. He’s the child who always looks for the one left out and welcomes them in. Full of nonstop energy, Landon loves riding his scooter, racing his BMX at Baker Creek Preserve, and building anything he can imagine at home. His laughter is contagious, and his joy leaves a lasting impression on everyone he meets.

On October 18th, Landon’s world changed when imaging at East Tennessee Children’s Hospital revealed a midline brain tumor. Emergency surgery was performed to remove as much of the tumor as possible, restore fluid drainage, and obtain a biopsy. He was diagnosed with Glioma H3K27, Grade IV.

After surgery, Landon experienced weakness on his left side, but through daily therapy, he regained full mobility in just two and a half weeks—an incredible display of strength and determination.

Landon began proton radiation therapy on November 13th. When swelling caused complications, he bravely underwent a second surgery on November 24th for shunt placement and was home the very next day. 

Landon continues radiation treatments as his care team works to determine the next steps, including chemotherapy and possible treatment at St. Jude. His resilience, courage, and joyful spirit continue to inspire all who follow his journey.
