Talon and his family spend a lot of time at the hospital. During his time in the pediatric unit he enjoys life\u2019s small comforts like playing video games on his Xbox One and watching anything he desires using his Amazon Fire Stick. He brings these items with him to the hospital and realized that many other pediatric patients don\u2019t have the same comforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #002d72;\">Drink Chocolate Milk for a Cause<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talon created the <\/span><strong>#TalonStrongChocolateMilkChallenge<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (aka <\/span><strong>#TSCMC<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) to raise awareness about his fundraiser.
