Our Heroes

"One step, one punch, one round at a time" has become a mantra for our newest hero Gavin. He shows us the meaning of true bravery throughout his battle with DIPG.

11-year-old Xander was first diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma in December 2020 at age seven. He was cleared for 2.5 years and unfortunately relapsed in 2024. He is on round two of six to try and beat this beast again.

Meet our newest hero, Brielle. She has the strongest faith in God, LOVES to read, and is also a total Potterhead just like all of us at Team Hutch… she’s obviously a Gryffindor ❤️🦁When we first met her, her hospital room was completely decked out in Harry Potter trinkets, merch, and legos—it was like walking into Hogwarts. We had the best time connecting with Brielle over our shared love for magic

 Aidan walked into the Detroit vs Dallas game just as he's walked into every other game this season and last: with a purpose. Aidan walked into that game with the fighting spirit of 16-year-old hockey player, Jacob Burbank, behind him.
