The 2020 River Valley Superhero is Lander Duvall, 6 year old son of Kaitlin Vantine and Logan Duvall.  Kaitlin and Logan, originally both from Atkins, now reside in Pottsville and North Little Rock.  Lander has 4 siblings: Kentlee Vantine (5 yo), Kamry Duvall (4 yo), Kennyn Vantine (4 mo), and Rowan Duvall (3 mo).

Over the summer of 2019, Lander was diagnosed with Stage 4 Nephroblastoma (Wilms tumor) that spread to his lymph nodes and lung.  Lander had surgery to remove his kidney and surrounding lymph nodes.  He has since been undergoing chemotherapy with positive results.

Lander has a long road ahead of him, but he is a fighter and we can’t wait to see our awesome community rally around him.
