The Bradley Cup is more than just an event — it’s about coming together for something bigger. 💙
Proceeds are supporting CHEO cancer care and a local Navan family, right here in our community. We’re proud to stand behind initiatives that make a real difference close to home.
This year, the Bradley Cup is honoured to be teaming up with Beckett Both, aka “Super Beckett”, to support children’s oncology at CHEO. The funds raised will be put towards pediatric oncology, care and research through Super Beckett’s CN Cycle and walk team – “Carpe Diem”.
SUPER BECKETT – A message from the Both Family.
If you have spent time in the hallways of CHEO recently, you may have heard his music before you saw him. You might have seen a little boy running or riding through the halls in his cape, with his superhero soundtrack playing, turning another medical procedure into a mission. That’s Beckett Both—or as he’s known at CHEO, "Super Beckett".
At just two years old, Beckett was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He was diagnosed the same week his cousin, Lucy, was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Thankfully, Lucy is now cancer-free. Beckett’s sister, Penny is also a happy 6-year-old girl today thanks to the incredible specialists and life-saving open heart surgery at CHEO.
Every day, we are grateful to have CHEO nearby and for all the wonderful doctors, nurses and support staff who take care of our family. To our family, CHEO is more than a hospital.
Most days this year, CHEO has been Beckett’s second home. He spent over three months in isolation rooms. The nurses and staff at CHEO have been his (and our) lifeline. Beckett’s best friends are all nurses. He knows them all by name and proudly introduces himself as “Beckett Gordon Gary Both”. They have been patient and graceful on his hardest days, and they’ve helped us celebrate with him on his good ones. In addition to doting nurses, his social circle at the hospital includes Zed the Clown, Spider-Man and Batman.
If things go according to plan, Super Beckett will finish his treatment (and ring the bell) in May 2027.
CHEO is a spectacular cause - our family would not be whole without it. It has given Beckett a place where he can still be a superhero, even on the days he has to fight the hardest.
The Bradley Cup is especially close to our hearts: in the 1950s, Beckett’s Great Grandfather, Lorne Bradley played for Navan. Seeing the Bradley name continue to bring people together through hockey, community, and generosity is incredibly meaningful to us and we are deeply honoured that the Bradley Cup has chosen our family’s charity as the tournament’s beneficiary.
The funds raised will support CN Cycle and Walk for CHEO, where 100 percent of every dollar goes towards pediatric oncology care and research. Our CN Cycle and Walk team is “Carpe Diem” — seize the day. If you’d like to join our team, you can do so here:

We want to sincerely thank the entire community for its generosity, support, and commitment to making a difference for children and families who need it most. 💛
