Kirk had a fun, goofy spirit that inspired us, especially during the tough challenges he faced following his cancer diagnosis. From building Lego, to spending time outside in the backyard with friends and family, Kirk tried to make the most of every day during his cancer journey. He recently asserted that cancer sucks, and how upsetting it is that so many kids also battle this terrible disease. This heartfelt remark, along with Kirk's passion for helping others, inspired us to honour him with donations to Campfire Circle.
