Barrett “Bear” Casey was just 8 years old when he passed away after a more than five-year battle with Wilms tumor, a rare kidney cancer. To honor his memory, Bear’s mother, Kathleen A. Casey of Chicago, started the Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation. The 10th Annual Costume “A Walk for the Bear” will take place Sunday, Oct. 22, at Busse Woods in Rolling Meadows.
