Chaz is a very kind-hearted kid who always has a smile on his face! He likes playing a variety of sports including football, soccer, basketball, baseball and wrestling. His favorite NFL team is the Green Bay Packers and he hopes he can go watch a Packers game someday. Chaz loves playing with friends and enjoys playing video games.
Chaz’s mother is proud of him for keeping a smile on his face even though his life has been turned upside down by his brother Dash’s cancer diagnosis.
One thing that has been helpful for Chaz is having a "second home" to stay at when Dash has to be in the hospital. Family friends have welcomed Chaz into their home and provided stability for him while his parents are in the hospital or traveling for chemo appointments.
Chaz and his brother Dash are best friends, and in tough times he is the best “medicine” for Dash, who is being treated for leukemia. Chaz’s mother writes, “I can't imagine how much more difficult everything would be without having Supersib Chaz there to help.”
SuperSib quote: "I’m sad that Dash has cancer.”
