Colton's Army
 

Our Mission

Colton was diagnosed at age 9 with high-risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in September of 2009. Since then he has endured two bone marrow transplants, one stem cell transplant, and one revolutionary T-cell therapy trial to beat this cancer. Colton has battled five times in 9 years. On June 28, 2023, he celebrated EIGHT years in remission! Our hero will turn 24 this June and is enjoying life with his family, girlfriend, and friends. Our hero is a true warrior and we are always praying for a miracle and a CURE!

 

Colton’s Army

Colton’s Army started as a movement of prayer warriors and supporters who came together to LOVE a cancer hero named Colton. The journey has been long and bumpy, but it led to a point where it was the right time to do something more – A Seattle Children’s Hospital Guild!

Why a Guild?

Since Colton's diagnosis in 2009, we have had on our hearts that we want to give back, pay it forward and make a difference for other patients and families like many who have gone before us.  Seattle Children's uncompensated care has truly saved families like ours from financial ruin.  Allowing us to focus on what is most important - caring for Colton.  We love being able to raise money to support childhood cancer research through the efforts of Seattle Children’s Therapeutics & Immuno Heroes.

Where will your donations go?

Seattle children’s Uncompensated care

Seattle Children’s Uncompensated Care provides necessary medical care to all children in our region, regardless of a family’s ability to pay. By filling in the gaps left by insurance shortfalls or the inability to pay, uncompensated care frees parents up to focus on getting their child well. This essential program fulfills Children’s founding promise to provide care to every infant, child and teen in Washington, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho who needs care – regardless of insurance coverage or financial circumstances.

High-Risk Leukemia (HRL) program

Seattle Children’s High-Risk Leukemia Program treats children and young adults with leukemia that has relapsed, resists treatment (refractory) or has high-risk features. The team at Seattle Children’s will assess your child, review all the options and recommend the best treatment for the patient. The HRL program treats all types of leukemia.
