Merrick is 3 years old and was diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 2. He went through 6 rounds of chemotherapy, brain surgery, and blood transfusions.

Since August 2022, Merrick has been in remission and his family was relieved and happy to ‘ring the bell’ at the hospital.

Merrick loves hanging out with his brother and enjoys fun adventures with his family.

Merrick will be on the runway accompanied by his mom, Amber, with his smile lighting up the room.
