Seven-year-old Canadian Brandon Ducharme recently was declared “cancer-free” after more than three years of aggressive and at times painful treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. To celebrate Brandon wanted to create a video with the aim of giving other families fighting cancer hope and motivation. Ducharme used Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down” as the soundtrack for his video and even received Petty’s blessing to put his own spin on the video.

The video was debuted earlier this month at a benefit that raised over $20,000 for non-profit organizations that support families in and around London, ON fighting cancer. We’re proud of what Brandon has accomplished and think he has put together a fun video. Take a look:
