Liam Noonan got a big surprise during his last visit to the Stephen D. Hassenfeld Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. The 17-year-old from East Northport, New York, received a cancer diagnosis last March. He was a superstar during his treatments and is now in remission.

“These are the moments you live for in pediatric oncology,” says Elizabeth A. Raetz, MD, the director of pediatric hematology–oncology at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at ��о�� Langone.

The Little Wish Foundation heard about Liam’s story and wanted to do something special. He loves music, and his favorite band is Green Day, so the organization got him a guitar signed by lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong.

Liam says he is very excited and moved by the lengths the foundation went to get him the signed guitar.
