Note: The Icon has followed Braylon Simon’s story since 2019. Here’s an update on Braylon’s Toy Drive, now underway. This is Braylon’s story written by his mom, who works in the Ohio Northern University physical plant.

After a year and a half of doctors, specialists, multiple tests and finally surgery, Braylon was diagnosed with Stage 3 Nodular Lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in April of 2018. He was 7 at the time.

He went through four rounds of chemotherapy and in August, 2018, he was able to ring the bell!

Braylon is now back to playing baseball and football and enjoying life as any child should.
