Two boys bonded over gaming. Now they fight cancer side by side.

Gaming has given Zac more than a distraction in his fight against cancer. In a way, it's also given him his best friend. Zac was playing his Switch in the recovery room at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., two-and-a-half years back, when eight-year-old Carson Dimsdale was wheeled in. The two boys' parents had just met in the waiting room, a meeting Amy says she believes was orchestrated by God. The two boys bonded over gaming and a shared sense of living with so much adversity at such a young age.
