Gold Ribbon Hero Brennan D

“Brennan is my son and is a cancer survivor. He has made a positive impact on my life and, as I’ve seen it, many others around me. In his battle with cancer, he redefined bravery and was an inspiration to a lot of people. The positive impact that I witnessed was in watching this three-old child, faced with an unfathomable challenge, completely conquer the illness without being phased, without fear, and never without a smile. In every instance where he felt badly, he only knew the good things that he felt. Each day of chemo and radiation was a day where he fought and won, going to sleep peacefully at night and waking up happy. Brennan is the first living superhero that I’ve ever met. He’ll be 5 years old tomorrow (9/4) and he continues to grow and face the world, cancer-free.” – Mike D

Through his foundations, he has organized Thanksgiving dinners and Hawaiian themed dinners for families and patients at Mattel Children’s Hospital, and gave baskets with gift cards and much needed items to patients and families at CHLA and Mattel. Brendan began all his work after meeting several children through a Children’s Hospice event he attended. Along with his family, they organized a fundraiser for Trinity Kids Care in LA, which prompted him to start Everlasting Smiles Foundation.
