UI Stead Family Children's Hospital 2023 Kid Captain: Cooper Estenson

Cooper Estenson had been healthy until age 9, when he began having daily headaches and grew increasingly tired, eventually becoming pale, with bruising on his body. He was diagnosed with lymphoblastic T-cell leukemia, a type of blood cancer that begins in the bone marrow and can spread to other organs.
