<div><a href="https://www.brightoncity.org/" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> BRIGHTON </a> — A local boy celebrated his last day of treatment for leukemia with help from local law enforcement. Theo Evans, 4, rang the bell at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor on Thursday, Aug. 15. The ringing signified Theo’s last day of treatment for <a href="https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/acute-lymphocytic-leukemia/about/what-is-all.html" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) </a> . Officers from the Brighton Police Department and the University of Michigan&nbsp;celebrated with Theo and his family outside of the hospital. Police vehicles lined the curb for a parade send-off that included bubbles and chalk. Theo is the son of Matt and Carly Evans. Matt is the principal at <a href="https://www.brightonk12.com/Domain/465" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> Brighton High School </a> . Theo was diagnosed with ALL on April 21, 2022, and soon began chemotherapy. <iframe height="476" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmottchildren%2Fvideos%2F1054948616217142%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" width="100%"></iframe><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> “He was a trooper through all of it,” Carly said. “He hardly had any sicknesses. ... Throughout the whole thing, he kept his spunky spirit about him, which was comforting to see he was handling everything as well as he did.” BPD has rallied around Theo and his family since his diagnosis. Theo’s grandmother, Francie Ash, retired as an administrative assistant for BPD in January 2022 after three decades. Theo&nbsp;developed an immediate love for police and fire. When asked who he wanted to be there for his send-off, Theo said his family and the “policemens,” Carly said. <img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0Pyf15_0v50GiIx00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0Pyf15_0v50GiIx00" width="1920" height="1080" ><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> BPD Chief Brent Pirochta coordinated the send-off. He said officers and staff have worn orange pins for the past two years to raise awareness for leukemia. “We truly believe we’re a family here and that extended family is a part of our family,” Pirochta said. “I couldn’t be prouder of the men and women who work here.” Subscribe: <a href="https://subscribe.livingstondaily.com/offers?" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Get unlimited access to our local coverage </a> Carly said there were a lot of emotions during the send-off. “I still can’t watch those videos without getting emotional — a collective sigh of relief that he did it, he’s here and he’s healthy,” Carly said. “Just gratitude to the doctors and everyone at&nbsp;(Mott) for being as phenomenal as they are. There are really no words to explain how great it felt to actually see him get to that finish line and be able to celebrate with all his family.” <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> "It was a great feeling to be a part of that," Pirochta said. — Contact reporter Evan Sasiela at <a href="mailto:esasiela@sentinel-standard.com" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" target="_blank"> esasiela@livingstondaily.com </a> .
