Brixton is battling a terminal pediatric brain tumor and was referred to Cops for Kids With Cancer in an effort to help his family defray medical costs. The boy’s mother Alana was forced to take a leave of absence from her job to care for her son during outpatient treatments.
The Canton-based charity has donated more than $2.5 million to families in New England since it began in 2002.
