Cayden, a joyful, nonverbal, and autistic 14 year old, was diagnosed with aggressive bone cancer in December 2025. Despite treatment, his cancer has continued to progress. Cayden's care is now focused on comfort and quality of life.
The CARES community is deeply saddened and heartbroken with this news. While trying to come up with something special to honor Cayden, the CARES community rallied along side Mr. Mike to create a personal tribute video. Mr. Mike who is widely known for his Mr. Mike videos on YouTube, has created a deeply personal video honoring Cayden's unique spirit, from his love for bubbles and music to his humor and sweetness, capturing every detail of his one-of-a-kind personality.
