RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR CLINT AND ERIN HENDERSON,
FOUNDERS OF COLE'S VICTORY LAP, FOR THEIR COMPASSIONATE LEADERSHIP AND FIVE
YEARS OF IMPACTFUL SERVICE TO CHILDREN BATTLING CANCER AND THEIR FAMILIES.

W
hereas, Cole's Victory
Lap was established in 2021 by Clint and Erin Henderson following the loss of
their two-year-old son, Cole, to neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer of the
adrenal gland, after he was diagnosed in April 2020; and

W
hereas, after more
than ten months of courageous treatment, including chemotherapy, experimental
radioactive therapy, a stem-cell transplant, and radiation, Cole passed away on
February 20, 2021, and his parents resolved to transform their profound grief
into a mission to support other families walking the same difficult journey; and

W
hereas, the Hendersons
began their ministry by providing snacks and beverages to patients at their
local hospital in Greenville, recognizing that chemotherapy often damages taste
buds and that proper nutrition is essential to sustaining strength during
treatment; and they soon expanded their efforts to include the donation of bed
sheets, blankets, and stuffed animals to help make sterile hospital
environments more comforting and less intimidating for young patients; and

W
hereas, to date,
Cole's Victory Lap has donated more than 125,000 snacks, 20,000 beverages, and
3,000 sheet-set bundles to children and families in need, with current
beneficiary hospitals including Prisma Health Children's Hospital-Upstate, Prisma
Health Children's Hospital-Midlands, Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital, Arthur
M. Blank Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory Proton Therapy Center, Levine
Children's Hospital, and Children's National Hospital; and

W
hereas, most recently,
Cole's Victory Lap pledged two-hundred fifty-thousand dollars to support the
Prisma Health Children's Hospital-Upstate Hogs for the Cause Pediatric
Hematology Oncology Unit in Greenville; and

W
hereas, the South
Carolina House of Representatives commends and values citizens of the Palmetto
State, such as Erin and Clint Henderson, whose resilience, compassion, and
faith have transformed personal tragedy into a ministry of hope, comfort, and
tangible support for countless children and families facing pediatric cancer. Now,
therefore,

B
e it resolved by the
House of Representatives
:

T
hat the members of the
South Carolina
House of Representatives

by this resolution, recognize and honor Clint and Erin Henderson, founders of Cole's
Victory Lap, for their compassionate leadership and five years of impactful
service to children battling cancer and their families.
