For a young child who has survived cancer, you might imagine that nothing would be better than a massive toy shopping spree to celebrate. But for 5-year-old leukemia survivor Zander Wiles, there was just one thing he preferred to spending all that money on himself: donating toys to other children dealing with the kind of cancer he faced.
After a tough battle with cancer diagnosed when Zander was just 8 months old, the boy had to undergo several rounds of chemotherapy. With the help of Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Wiles’s cancer went into remission.
