Two-year-old Mavrik’s spirits continue to be high during his fight with cancer, now being nominated Toddler of the Year.
His battle against high-risk neuroblastoma began in late October 2024, but has been receiving an outpour of community support since then.
“One of his Aunts actually nominated him for it, and then the voting kind of just took off right away.” Mavrik’s father Derek Turnbull said.
“I think in two hours he went from 40th to first, and he’s basically held that position ever since.”
Turnbull added that Mavrik has been doing ok and is recovered, coming off of a couple months of chemotherapy, and will have radiation in August.
Those interested can follow Mavrik’s progress on the Mavrik’s Battle With Cancer Facebook page here.
Support can also be done by bringing in empty bottles to any Return-It Depot, and to use the number 250-267-7242 to print and tag the bags.
Those looking to vote can make one for free, which can be found here.
