Kenny Moore II

The Story of Mighty Mason

“Mighty” Mason Garvey was your typical 7-year-old boy. He loved video games, playing outside, reading, watching TV; but most of all, Mason loved sports. If it involved a ball, Mason either watched it or played it. In September of 2018, Mason was given a challenge that was anything but typical. He was diagnosed with Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma (ERMS). ERMS is a malignant soft tissue tumor formed from embryonic skeletal muscle tissue. Mason underwent standard treatments, targeted treatments, and even experimental treatments for nearly 2 years while bravely battling cancer. He fought with a strength that most humans simply do not possess and gained his angel wings on June 25, 2020.

Mason’s “Big Bro” Kenny was by his side throughout the entire journey, and we are honored that for the fourth consecutive year, Kenny has helped design the Mighty Mason shirt for September which is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month. This year’s design is a throwback to the first shirt Kenny designed and highlights a moment we all will never forget – Mason and Kenny running out of the tunnel together before a Colts game on Mason’s 9th birthday!

The need for continued research and advancement in treatment for pediatric cancer became so clear to our family during Mason’s battle, and purchasing these shirts is a way you can join us in helping with both. All the proceeds from the sales will go to the Mighty Mason Foundation, Inc. The foundation was created in honor of Mason and its mission is to provide financial support for Pediatric Cancer Research and Palliative Care as well as providing support to children, families, and medical professionals battling against pediatric cancer. We appreciate each and every one of you helping us in this fight and in continuing to honor Mason’s legacy while changing the lives of children and families both now and in the future.
