Raines' Story
Raines, born on December 4, 2021, was diagnosed with Bilateral Retinoblastoma just days before his first birthday. Despite intense treatments, including chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant, his fight against cancer was nothing short of miraculous. Though Raines faced unimaginable challenges, his spirit remained strong.
​
Sadly, Raines passed away on October 2, 2024, at just 1033 days old, leaving behind a legacy of strength, resilience, and generosity. He donated his organs for pediatric cancer research, hoping to help others.

Brain cancer is the second most common form
of cancer in children and the leading cause of
cancer-related deaths among children.
