Children’s of Mississippi Kid Coach of the Week: Larry Hill

March 30, 2019 | Baseball

Kid Coach is a partnership between Children's of Mississippi and the Mississippi State Bulldogs to salute pediatric patients. Their inspirational stories remind us just how truly courageous these young people are.

This week's Children's of Mississippi Kid Coach is Larry Hill of Maben.

In April of 2018, Larry kept having stomach pain. His mother, Rebi, took Larry to their local doctor, who sent Larry to specialists at Children's of Mississippi. They diagnosed Larry with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare cancer of the bone and soft tissue.

Larry is currently receiving treatment at the Children's Cancer Center. With support from his family and friends, ten-year-old Larry is tackling his cancer with a "never give up" attitude.

Larry loves reading comic books and playing his favorite video game, Fortnite™. Children's Cancer Center staff will also tell you he loves to dance!

Have fun at Saturday's game, Larry! Your friends at Children's of Mississippi are cheering for you!
