(COLORADO SPRINGS) — 5-year-old Layton Williamson battled cancer from 2 to 3-years-old during the COVID-19 pandemic. During his battle, Layton was chosen as a Make-A-Wish Colorado kid.
Layton’s original Make-A-Wish choice was to go to Disney World. That wish unfortunately wasn’t granted because of the COVID-19 pandemic. His next choice was to spend as much time with his family as possible; doing the things he loves — camping, hiking, and exploring.
In May of 2021, the Williamson family was gifted a camper with the help of Make-A-Wish Colorado and Camping Word of Denver. Since then, the family has enjoyed many camping trips, but nothing compared to the first night in the camper parked outside their home in Colorado Springs.

The Williamson family now reports their beloved Coleman Lantern LT17B Camper was stolen either late Monday, May 1, or early Tuesday morning on May 2.
The family lives in Colorado Springs near Woodmen and Rangewood, and has filed a police report with the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD), but still needs the community’s help.
The camper is described as White/Grey with Red Coleman lettering and license plate number CJNE60.
