In a video, dad Kennith Thomas performed for Kristian his toddler son, to keep his spirits up while he was undergoing chemo. To amuse Kristian in the hospital, Thomas danced to a Ciara song titled, “Level Up” while his clearly entertained son was clapping, smiling and even dancing along. Thomas owns a dance studio, and his wife, Josilyne is a photographer; and although those dance moves were meant for an audience of one, the video has been viewed nearly three million times.

Kristian was diagnosed with Acute Megakaryoblastic Leukaemia (AMKL) when he was only 14 months old, and Thomas would often dance for his son to cheer him up and surround him with positivity.

“Right off the bat, I had to focus on giving him positive energy that he needed. We gave him that positivity and made him laugh every single day. It was key for him defeating cancer,” says Kennith Thomas.

In the month that Kristian was undergoing chemotherapy, Thomas would often entertain his son on video which led to his Instagram account gaining popularity that even Ciara herself watched the famed video. She reached out to Josilyne Thomas to plan to surprise both Kennith and Kristian. Everyone was shocked and it was such a positive impact that someone as influential as Ciara took the time to visit Kristian.

“Today I had one of the best times in life,” the singer tweeted after she visited the Thomas family in their dance studio. “I got to meet the rock star Kristian… he’s surrounded by an abundance of love,”

In November of 2018, Thomas and his wife received the good news that Kristian was finally cancer free! All the support Thomas showed his baby had finally paid off. “We’ve been given the opportunity to speak life into people and motivate others to never give up and continue the fight no matter what they’re facing,” said Thomas.  He explained that both him and his wife make use of their social media accounts to give awareness regarding paediatric cancer and to support other families that may be going through the same thing they did.
