Gunnar Haseltine was diagnosed with ALL leukemia in February 2024. He is currently in maintenance and doing great.
His journey began after environmental toxin exposure led to symptoms like foot pain, fatigue, and jaundice.
Thankfully, Gunnar does not have any lasting limitations due to his diagnosis.
He has completed six rounds of chemotherapy and is now in maintenance treatment for the next year. One of the biggest challenges for his family has been financial. His mom is his full-time caretaker and has had to stop working to care for him.
Gunnar’s cancer diagnosis has changed their family in profound ways. It has made them more thankful for every day together and helped them slow down and appreciate life’s simplest moments. They do their best to “count it all as joy” and live with a deepened awareness of how precious life truly is.
Gunnar is full of joy. He’s a jokester who loves practical jokes and dressing up to fight bad guys in his superhero costumes. He’s naturally protective, smart, loving, and kind. He adores the outdoors, spending time with family, playing with his silly dog Disa, and talking about Jesus and his grandparents.
His mom says he’s a miracle. From his personality to the way he moves through life, Gunnar has brought his whole family closer to God and to one another in ways that are hard to explain but deeply felt.
