Dexter, Missouri - It was a very special day for kindergarten student Gavin Thompson. Ethan Stevens, quarterback for the Dexter Bearcats, presented Gavin the game ball from the Kennett football game.
All the football players and each coach signed the ball before it was presented to Gavin in front of his classmates this week.
Gavin is the son of Grant and Nicole Thompson and was diagnosed with Lymphoblastic Leukemia B a few weeks ago. He is undergoing treatment in St. Louis and has had to miss a few days of school already this year.
A friend and co-worker of Nicole’s created the Facebook page GAVIN SQUAD to keep everyone up-to-date on his progress as well as announce much needed fundraisers. Gavin Squad just held a t-shirt drive and will continue to raise funds for the family.
Gavin is a typical little boy who loves Star Wars, Superheroes, and Mario Kart. He just has to battle this awful thing called Cancer!
A HUGE thank you to Coach Peden and the entire football team for making Gavin’s day very special. It put a smile on his face!
Please keep Gavin and his family in your prayers and when there are fundraisers, the ShowMe Times will be glad to get the word out to all of its readers.
