Brantley is an energetic, playful little boy. He likes cars, trucks, superheroes and dinosaurs. “He’s all boy,” said his mom, Chasity.
Brantley is undergoing treatment at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for a type of brain tumor called anaplastic astrocytoma. His treatment will include 16 rounds of chemotherapy.

Brantley’s dad agrees. “St. Jude means the world to us,” he said. “They’re taking care of our son, and they’re taking care of us."
