Defying Insurmountable Odds, Jasper Casey
is Hasbro Children’s 2026 “Champion Child”

Jasper Casey spent the first 119 days of his life in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, whisked away from his parents Lenka and Craig before they even had a chance to hold their newborn son. What has followed is a more than seven-year-long, complex medical journey in which Jasper has continued defying the odds. Today, the “miracle” child, as his parents call him, reached another meaningful milestone, being named Hasbro Children’s 2026 Champion Child.
