SUMMARY: A Pasco County family is honoring their late son, Mason, who died from leukemia seven months ago, by sending a pair of shoes to a memorial in Washington DC, symbolizing children who succumb to pediatric cancer annually. Mason, who fought cancer with a smile, was committed to helping other kids during his own battle and aspired to be an NHL player and coach. The Fox family donated to a display of 1,800 shoes near the Washington Monument to advocate for increased federal funding for childhood cancer research, currently only 4%. They also established the Smile Like Mason Fox Foundation to support hospitalized children.
