Brady wrote a letter to himself as a now 27-year-old, to his 8-year-old self during the week he was originally diagnosed with cancer. The feature was part of the St. Baldrick's Foundation's series "What would you tell your younger self?" during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

"Some days smiles are easier than others, but those days when smiles are hard to find are often the days when they are needed the most. Your smile can change someone’s life. In the end, use your smile to guide the way and change the world." The blog was shared on Medium and can be found here.
