Brooks Blackmore was only 5 years old when he was diagnosed with Stage IV brain tumors.
Eleven months after his diagnosis, Brooks passed away.
His family created a Facebook page called Be Brave Brooks to share his story.
This weekend, they are holding the Be Brooks Brave & Shave, to benefit St. Baldrick’s, a foundation that funds childhood cancer research.
The Be Brooks Brave & Shave event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 19 at Grand Park Events Center in Westfield.
