Lakewood resident Bryce Walden's Bible-based hope keeps him strong. While other boys were shooting hoops last summer, Lakewood resident Bryce Walden was learning to walk again. At the end of 2020, Bryce received an emergency diagnosis of a large mass at the base of his brain. During the next several days, he had grueling surgeries. The bad news: he is now legally blind and has a permanent shunt to reduce fluid pressure on his brain. The good news: he is alive and with his family.
