Camp Pendleton, California - Baden, center, and his father, Chris Mayo, right, ride on a tank during their visit to Camp Pendleton Sept. 4. 7-year-old Baden was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia December 10, 2010 when he was 5-years-old. After a little over a year of intensive chemotherapy he was declared in remission, but unfortunately during one of his routine clinics doctors found that leukemia was back in his spinal fluid. Charity for Charity worked with Marines from Camp Pendleton to make Badens dream of riding a tank come true.
