Through Kyle’s Kamp, he worked hard to raise money and awareness for pediatric cancer care and research. His friends and family are continuing his legacy to support all of the children who are still battling cancer. An avid baseball fan, Gavin had a chance to meet his favorite player, Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals, who called Gavin his hero.
