Grayson Dodd is 3 years old and sadly is dealing with AML Leukemia. A charity called the Foundation for Strength decided to make his day by teaming up with the Westland Toys 'R' Us and the Power Rangers to give him a shopping spree, allowing Grayson to shop in the store before it opened up for business!
You can view a photo of Grayson with his parents Kevin and April, the Power Rangers, and Geoffrey the Giraffe.

According to Foundation for Strength's Cory Allen though, Grayson was so enamored with the Power Rangers, who are his favorite heroes, by the way, that shopping wasn't even a priority.
"Grayson had so much fun with the Power Rangers that he wasn't even concerned with shopping for toys. He was finally back to being a fun lovely kid again, playing tag, battle swords and hide and seek with the Rangers. His dad mentioned that this was the first time he has seen Grayson with this much joy in over a month."
It was a welcome reprieve for Grayson, giving him a memory he will never forget. He had a full cart overflowing with toys by the end of it, including a new bicycle, which he can ride after he gets out of the hospital, where's he's undergoing chemotherapy.
