Today, we proudly welcome Bryce as the Honorary Ball Kid at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital at Ascension St. Vincent. His presence brings a wave of energy and inspiration to everyone around him, and it’s an honor to celebrate such a remarkable young spirit.
Bryce is living with a rare genetic disorder called NG2, which affects the central nervous system and leads to the growth of tumors and lesions throughout the brain, brainstem, and spine. The condition is complex and has required him to undergo multiple major surgeries over the years—each one a testament to his strength and resilience.
Despite the physical and emotional challenges that come with his diagnosis, Bryce has never let his condition define him. With every obstacle, he continues to face life head-on, inspiring everyone with his quiet bravery and unwavering determination. His story is one of grit, hope, and the will to keep moving forward.
What truly lights up Bryce’s world are the things he loves most—playing basketball, hitting the golf course, and spending time outside with his friends and family. Whether he’s making a shot, swinging a club, or simply enjoying nature, these moments bring him joy and remind us all of the importance of doing what we love.
As he embraces his role today as Honorary Ball Kid, Bryce represents far more than just courage in the face of illness—he stands for living life fully, finding happiness in every moment, and never letting go of the passions that make us feel alive.
