A Texas family has made headlines in recent days when photos of them all wearing superhero costumes for their son’s cancer treatments began to go viral. Natalia and Dario Hernandez spoke with CBS Austin about their outfits that they wore for their three year old son Leone, who was diagnosed with a “high-risk form of leukemia” in July of 2021. The young boy has now entered the third stage of his treatment, meaning he’s receiving chemotherapy treatments every day, and to keep up his spirits and remind him that he’s not alone his family have taken to wearing superhero costumes for each and every visit to Children’s Medical Center in Dallas.
For some people superheroes are mythical… but not for Natalia and Dario Hernandez. They know a real, live superhero – their three year old Leone.https://t.co/CeDLQxO1pV
Our patient Leone is a superhero as he battles leukemia. To celebrate #NationalSuperheroDay, his mom found a way to support us through her work at Mi Cocina. Dine at any DFW Mi Cocina April 28 – May 1, and you can give back to our patients. https://t.co/sd5qwwGXIM pic.twitter.com/ka1M7hKvzz
