SUMMARY: Walker Mim, a Mississippi high school baseball player, faced a life-altering Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diagnosis. Concerned about his son’s unusual throwing motion, Walker’s father prompted an MRI that revealed cancer instead of a shoulder injury. Despite the harsh treatments, Walker remained resilient. Make A Wish Mississippi granted him a wish to attend the World Series, marking a symbol of hope as he completed his treatment. Supported by his family and community, who wore “Walker Strong” bracelets, he found strength in his faith, particularly through Philippians 4:13. Thankfully, Walker is now feeling well and embracing life again.
