Accoding to the fundraising page, it was only a few weeks ago that Henry lost his appitite, because very tired, sick and lost the pigment in his skin.

鈥淚 was ambulanced to the airport where they flew me to the Children鈥檚 Hospital in Vancouver (that part was pretty cool). I spent the next couple of days getting blood and platelet transfusions and doing all sorts of tests to find out what my treatment plan was going to be. I will spend the next month getting blasted with chemo,鈥� wriiten on the Go Fund Me page.

Henry loves sports, animals and adores his kitty Rosie.
