A $100 donation funds one of Dayton Children's red wagons, which parents use to wheel their kiddos around our campuses. But these bright red wagons do more than get kids from point A to point B — they give families a sense of comfort and normalcy during hospital visits. And yes, even our Canine Co-pilots love to hitch a ride. 🐾

🐾 It’s Radiothon Day! šŸŽ™ļøšŸ’›

Meet Eric, an energetic 9-year-old who loves sports, making people laugh, and showing off his best Michael Jackson dance moves. During his treatment for a brain tumor, Eric found comfort, courage, and friendship through the Dayton Children’s Canine Co-pilots. šŸ’™šŸ¶

From difficult appointments to long treatment days, the Canine Co-pilots helped Eric feel more at ease, providing a calming presence when he needed it most. Their unconditional love, comforting compassion, and gentle encouragement helped make the hospital feel a little less scary.

Today, Eric has completed treatment and is back to doing what he loves most, but he’ll never forget the special role the Canine Co-pilots played along the way.

Today, we’re raising funds to support incredible facility dogs who bring joy, comfort, and confidence to kids like Owen every single day.

Ten years after a rare brain tumor changed his childhood, Blake Barr is sharing a message of hope for other children and families facing a similar journey. 🧔

Diagnosed at just 10 years old, Blake underwent surgery and seven weeks of proton radiation therapy. Today, at 20, he’s in remission and will receive the 2026 Dayton Walk for the Cure Leadership Award from the Children’s Brain Tumor Foundation.

Along the way, Blake found support through a community that understood his experience, made lasting memories with his family, and helped create hope for future patients. His family was among the first to donate tumor tissue to a research biobank established by Dayton Children’s pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Robert Lober, helping advance research into pediatric brain tumors.

Blake’s story reminds us that caring for children means more than treating an illness. It means supporting families, fostering connection, advancing research and making room for joy along the way.

Congratulations, Blake! We’re proud to celebrate you and grateful to you and your family for the hope you continue to share with others. 🧔

October is Safe Sleep Month, and Dayton Children’s is helping families remember one of the simplest — and most important — safe sleep practices: Back is best.

Placing your baby on their back to sleep is the safest position. When babies sleep on their backs, it helps keep their airways clear and reduces the risk of choking or suffocation.

Safe sleep saves lives, and at Dayton Children’s, we’re here to support you every step of the way as you create a safe and nurturing environment for your little one. šŸ’œ

šŸŽƒ Our friends at Spirit Halloween brought the Halloween fun to our patients with games, costumes, and so much joy.

šŸ’« Since 2011, Spirit Halloween has raised more than $703,000 to support kids at Dayton Children’s — and we’re so grateful for their continued generosity and spirit!

You can be part of the magic, too! Use code HOPE26 when you shop at https://www.spirithalloween.com/ to receive 10% off your order, and Spirit will donate that same amount to Dayton Children's child life department. 🧔

šŸŽƒ Make Halloween safe and sweet for every child!

Did you know 1 in 13 children has a food allergy? For these kids and their families, trick-or-treating can come with some extra challenges. šŸ’™

That’s why the Teal Pumpkin Project makes Halloween more inclusive by encouraging families to offer non-food treats alongside candy.

Dr. David Morris, chief of allergy and immunology at Dayton Children’s, recently shared his expertise with Parents magazine, including a few things to keep in mind this Halloween:

šŸ¬ Know your ingredients. Some licorice contains wheat, and candy corn can contain egg.

🫧 Offer non-food treats. Stickers, glow sticks and bubbles are fun alternatives for kids with food allergies.

šŸ·ļø When in doubt, check the label. As Dr. Morris advises, ā€œIf in doubt, do not eat.ā€

Want to join the movement? šŸ’™ Place a teal pumpkin on your porch to let families know you offer non-food treats. It’s a small gesture that can make a big difference in helping every child feel included in the Halloween fun!

šŸ€ Imagine being 5 years old and having the sport you love interrupted by coughing fits that keep you up at night and leave you sitting on the sidelines.

For Nehemiah, that was life before his asthma diagnosis. Today, he’s looking ahead to high school basketball with confidence, and as one of our Dayton Children’s patient ambassadors, he's helping other families find hope. 🧔

After his diagnosis, Nehemiah and his family found more than a treatment plan at Dayton Children’s. With guidance from Daniel Evans, MD, division chief of pulmonology, they learned how to manage his asthma, recognize symptoms and navigate challenges along the way.

Now, Nehemiah is looking forward to morning workouts, high school basketball and all that’s possible when kids get the care and confidence they need to thrive.

ā€œIf it wasn’t for Dayton Children’s and I didn’t have my inhaler, I wouldn’t be in the position that I’m in right now,ā€ Nehemiah shared.

We’re proud to have Nehemiah as a patient ambassador, sharing his story to help other kids and families find confidence, comfort and the support they need to keep doing what they love. 🧔
