JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — It’s now been around two years since Henry Wodicka was diagnosed with leukemia at just seven years old.
In two years of treatment, Henry underwent countless chemotherapy sessions, with his family often having to drive two hours each way for his lifesaving care, and Henry unable to experience a normal childhood.
“Henry did have a port in his chest, so that did limit his ability to you know swim safely in all bodies of water,” Henry’s father, Braden Wodicka, explained Sunday morning. “We have a cabin on a river that is kind of our lifeblood of our family, and you know, not being able to participate in those activities throughout the summers, you know, were kind of a big bummer for him.”
