PRINCE GEORGE – Calling on Ryan Reynolds!

A couple of weeks ago CKPG News caught up with 11-year-old Brody Dery from Prince George.

Brody has been battling Crohn’s disease since he was nine, now recently diagnosed with stage 3B Hodgkins Lymphoma.

This past week has been especially tough for Brody as he gets chemotherapy treatments at BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, now his mom is hoping his superhero Ryan Reynolds can lift his spirits.

The 11-year-old is in Vancouver right now staying at the Ronald McDonald House which is much different because of COVID-19.

Brody just finished his first round of chemo on January 9th, now awaiting the second round scheduled for January 14th.

“Brody is doing really well with chemo, no crazy side effects. His attitude is great and he is approaching everything with a smile. His hair is falling out really fast and he is very embarrassed. But he knows what to expect in the coming days,” says Brody’s mother Randi.

If you want to donate to the family, you can find their Facebook page by clicking here for more details.

So far the various fundraising efforts have raised over 16 thousand dollars for Brody and his family.
