A mysterious, painless lump on his leg sent Parker to CHEO in August 2022 for a series of scans and biopsies. This nine-year-old multi-sport athlete’s life changed in a moment with a diagnosis of Ewing Sarcoma, a type of bone cancer. What followed was an intense treatment protocol of chemotherapy, radiation and an elaborate surgery that involved removing the cancerous bone from his leg and transforming his ankle into a knee joint so he could resume his active lifestyle. A passionate hockey player, Parker is already back on skates and has his eyes on the future.
