Pfeiffer, eight, of Bovey, has undergone five rounds of chemotherapy, two surgeries, two stem cell transplants, 10 rounds of radiation, and six rounds of immunotherapy.
âWe could not ask for a tougher kid,â Easton s mother, Samantha Pfeiffer, a registered nurse at Grand Itasca Clinic & Hospital in Grand Rapids said. âBut when he s home, he s like a normal Easton. He s energetic, outgoing and likes to be outside riding his bike, fishing and camping.â
Easton s father Derek is a production truck driver at Hibbing Taconite Co.
Each day last week, United Steelworkers Local 2705 volunteers took donations at a Hibbing Taconite Co. gate to benefit Easton and his family.
