Unlocking a world of possibilities for kids like Nolan. At the age of three, Nolan’s mom noticed something strange in his eye during play time. By the end of the week, Nolan was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a form of cancer that develops in the retina. Doctors concluded Nolan was likely born with a microscopic tumor undetectable to the naked eye.

To remove the tumor in its entirety, Nolan’s left eye was surgically removed just two weeks after seeing the specialist. Immediately following the surgery, an orbital implant was placed to keep Nolan’s eye muscles in shape while he healed. Eight weeks after surgery, Nolan was fitted for a prosthetic eye, his superhero eye, as he likes to call it. In August of that year, Nolan started chemotherapy at his local member hospital.

He completed his treatment just in time for his fourth birthday and celebrated by ringing the bell, marking the completion of six months of chemotherapy. Today, Nolan loves reading and hanging out with his little brother. He enjoys playing baseball, doing karate and is still partial to superheroes. Although Nolan is cancer-free, he enjoys going to his six-month check-ups at the “big hospital” and seeing his friends in the Child Life Zone.

Changing kids’ health means not only providing access to best-in-class health services and treatments, but also addressing social determinants of health such as food insecurity that causes and exacerbates the health challenges kids face. When you support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, you do both – creating a healthier, happier future for families and communities for years to come
