Grant Gossling

Grant was a joyful 2 year old in June of 2014, when he started complaining of arm pain. An x-ray and then a trip to the ER revealed the unthinkable – Grant was diagnosed with aggressive stage IV neuroblastoma, a solid tumor cancer. Over the next 22 months Grant would endure 5 rounds of chemotherapy, surgery to remove his tumor, 2 rounds of a radioactive therapy called MIBG, a stem cell transplant, focal radiation, 5 months of immunotherapy, and additional rounds of immunotherapy with chemotherapy. Throughout all of this treatment that included multiple relapses Grant fought with a smile on his face always showing his tenacious personality. He spent well over a hundred days in the hospital, but rarely complained, you could find him in his decorated room covered in superheroes, Paw Patrol, Minions, and Cars, roaming the halls in costume, using his bed as a slide, and if he could be free from machines you'd spot him climbing the wall on the hospital playground.

Grant's body went through a lot of treatment and unfortunately the treatment took a hefty toll. On March 28 of  2016 after fighting fungal pneumonia, Grant left this earth and entered the arms of Jesus at the tender age of four. Left behind are Grant's siblings, big sister Sarah, big sister Sydney, big brother James, and baby brother Hudson. As a family, the Gossling’s will forever be fighting to find better treatments for childhood cancer and hopefully one day a cure.
