On July 23^rd, 2020, Storm Rushford stood on the pitcher’s mound on the American Legion baseball field in Barre, Vermont, and calmly smoothed the dirt with his dusty cleats. A casual spectator might not notice anything unusual about the moment, but then again, there would be no way for a casual spectator to know that something amazing, something incredible was about to happen in the next pitch.

Rainbow Sparkle Party is the remarkable story of Storm’s journey from baseball prodigy to a diagnosis of Very High Risk Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and beyond. Told from the perspective of his father in the form of a online journal, Rainbow Sparkle Party chronicles the courage, humor and hope that a teenage boy brought to an impossible situation, and the incredible moments that arise from his refusal to submit to his disease.

Filled with humor, drama, and the brutal honesty that comes from being a “Cancer Dad”, Rainbow Sparkle Party will make you laugh, cry and hug the ones you love. It is a story for parents, kids, and anyone who has been affected by cancer, but at its core, Rainbow Sparkle Party is a sports story, about a boy’s love of baseball and the power of love, in all forms, to transcend limitations and create miracles.
