The bill, H. 5053, is a House Resolution recognizing and honoring Clint and Erin Henderson, the founders of Cole's Victory Lap, for their compassionate leadership and five years of impactful service to children battling cancer and their families. Established in 2021 after the tragic loss of their two-year-old son, Cole, to neuroblastoma, the Hendersons transformed their grief into a mission to support other families facing similar challenges. Their efforts began with providing snacks and beverages to patients at local hospitals and have since expanded to include donations of bed sheets, blankets, and stuffed animals, significantly improving the comfort of young patients during treatment.

To date, Cole's Victory Lap has made substantial contributions, including over 125,000 snacks, 20,000 beverages, and 3,000 sheet-set bundles to various hospitals. Most recently, they pledged $250,000 to support the Prisma Health Children's Hospital-Upstate Hogs for the Cause Pediatric Hematology Oncology Unit. The resolution commends the Hendersons for their resilience, compassion, and faith, highlighting their dedication to transforming personal tragedy into a ministry of hope and support for countless families affected by pediatric cancer.
