Say ‘HI’ to our newest GCC ambassador, 5-year-old Hendrix! 🌟 Life took a dramatic turn for Hendrix and his mom, Jenna, when he was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in February 2023. 💔 This brave little man started treatment immediately, and endured daily chemotherapy, regular hospital trips and countless appointments. Another big bump in the road came later that year when Hendrix was rushed to hospital on November 28th with severe diabetic ketoacidosis, just as he was due to transition to maintenance treatment. Two weeks later, on December 13th, Hendrix was officially diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. He started maintenance chemotherapy as planned, with an insulin pump to manage his diabetes, and completed five cycles of maintenance treatment before another setback… This January, as Hendrix was preparing to start round six of maintenance treatment, tests indicated an early relapse of his leukemia. 😭 Reintroduction chemotherapy didn’t have the impact his doctors hoped for, so they turned to cutting-edge CAR T-cell therapy. Modified T-cells were infused into his bloodstream on April 10. Despite holding so much promise, the CAR T treatment failed, leaving his family understandably devastated. His journey is now taking a new direction. Hendrix is being prepared for a bone marrow transplant, which is now his best chance of beating this terrible disease. Come on GCC’ers, let’s show this little legend and his family that an army of GCC riders is behind them – drop a COMMENT below to show your support! ✊ Hendrix, we’re riding for YOU this August!
