 Alexander "Alex" Nobles is truly a courageous hero.

 He has an older brother named Ayden, who is his best friend. Alex even shares his favorite things with him. He has another little brother, Amori. 

Alex was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma on April 1, 2013 at just 3 years old. He began chemotherapy and finished in February 2014. Two months later, his scans showed no evidence of disease and he has been in remission ever since!

He doesn't remember much of his cancer journey, but he does remember getting needles. It has been a long, scary and tough journey, but he proved to be a fighter. Alex's dad, Aaron, says his now13-year-old son is a superhero, and his mom, Grisel, is so grateful that her little boy can continue to grow into an impressive young man.

Their family motto is to never ever give up!
