Meet The Hancock family.

The Hancock Family Written By Mom( Sara Hancock)

We wanted a family, and struggled to get pregnant. When we found out we would be having a boy, my husband was over the moon. I was excited and wanted a healthy baby. Little did we know that would be the furthest from what would happen.  On February 13 2009 on his Uncle's 17th Birthday we welcomed our first little boy Carson Danny Hancock. Just moments after he was born, he was rushed away from me, to be Tracheal intubated.   He had a rare condition called Bronchial Malysia. That started off with just one "extra" doctor to see at Primary Children's. I remember walking up and down the halls when we would go see the ENT doctors, and also feel so awful for all the families there. I would avoid the 4th floor since it caused so much anxiety, that was the cancer floor. 

On May 10th, 2012 Our world was changed. 

Our Child was Facing cancer; Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia 

He would endure 3 years and 3 months of Treatment. Our world would never be the same, but not all of that was bad. 

We would have many organization that would come to our aid. One of them being the Mascot Miracle Foundation. Felix was an amazing bird that showed up at so many events. He would play with the kids, make them laugh. It was like having Mickey Mouse there at each event. We then started seeing the Zoo at the events that included an a lot of mascots that were doing the same thing as Felix. 

 I was helping put on a prom for a sweet Girl Brylee and wanted to know how to help these awesome mascots. 

A few Months later I find myself, helping the Mascot Miracle Foundation, not because I was asked, because in my heart I knew I wanted to be part of an amazing opportunity to not just see my child smile, have fun, but to see MANY kids have that joy brought to them. To help other parents that are facing Un-Thinkable illnesses. 

Our Tuff Boy Has just one year of Treatment left, July 2015 he will finish with chemotherapy.  His Nick name came from Tuff Hedeman a famous bull rider; and little did we know our son would share the love of Rodeo and enjoy going to them.  He says that he wants to be a bull rider, and we hope that he is able to follow that dream. 

Way to Go Willy

The Mascot Miracles Foundation would like to send out a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to our very own ZOO member Willy from UVU for earning 2014's NCA Collegiate best all around mascot. This award gives him a golden ticket to go strait to the national competition. Way to go Willy, you made the zoo proud.

Starting it off Right!

Mascot Miracle Foundation is ready to ROCK Utah. We are here, we are real, and we are ready to make smiles, memories, and laughter for the world to see. 

      The Mascot Miracles Foundation was founded this year, 2014, by a big-hearted mascot named Felix the Falcon. Felix has been a part of the mascot world for 20 years. A few years ago, he met a little girl who had cancer and changed his world. He saw the smile and happiness his simple presence brought to her. From there, he started going to events for other children whose families were in medical crisis. He dreamed this vision of a Foundation that would provide activities and special events for kids facing unthinkable illnesses, from cancer, to special needs, to rare disease. Felix gathered some friends, and now there’s a whole Zoo of Mascots with the same vision. 
    

    Our First "Official" Event was a Photo Shoot at Camera shy. We invited a few of our Heroes the first day. We rocked the place. The employee's of Camera Shy didn't know what hit them. They were amazed. They fell in Love. They were excited, and wanted to know how to be involved. The second day we invited some more Heroes and also some Angel Families to come and make sure their child is never forgotten. Here are the results. 

After these Pictures took place  Camera Shy was in love with our kids, our families, and of course our Mascots! They are now jumping on board to be part of Mascot Miracles Foundation and we are thrilled to have them! :)
