Rally Kid Hayes Story
Hayes childhood changed in July 2024 when he was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma, a rare form of childhood liver cancer. After months of chemotherapy and a major liver resection surgery, he rang the bell on December 30, 2024.
Hayes was able to enjoy time with his family, start kindergarten, go on adventures, model for Rally on the Runway, and even take his Make-A-Wish trip to Puerto Rico.
But in June 2026, routine scans revealed that his cancer had returned.
Hayes is now back in treatment, undergoing chemotherapy in Nashville and preparing for another surgery later this year in Cincinnati. Through every challenge, he continues to show incredible strength and determination. He even describes chemo as a “tiny ninja” flying through his bloodstream to fight the cancer.
We’re so proud to stand alongside Hayes and his family as he continues this fight
