Volunteers from the Amarillo branch of Groundworks, working with the Roc Solid Foundation, built a custom backyard playset for an 8-year-old named Chase, the Amarillo Tribune reported. Chase is being treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The foundation said volunteers hid Spider-Man gifts through the playset because that is what he loves.
Office manager Natasha Bendinskas said Chase was excited when he saw the gifts. The playset is a place for his family to spend time outside between treatments. It is not a change in his medical care.
