Hayden Drake has been battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia for two years.
October 7, he rang the bell to signify his final treatment.
Roc Solid Foundation teamed up with State Farm to build Drake a playset for his backyard.
Because of his treatments, he cannot be exposed to the germs of a public playground yet.
From 8:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., Drake's parents took him out for a morning of fun while volunteers worked on the playground from the ground up.
“We’re always looking for opportunities to make our community much better than where it is and when we can find that, we jump in hands first," said Gary Davis of State Farm.
Drake was speechless when he saw it but later said, "It was surprising."
He wasted no time climbing to the top of slide and swinging on the swingset with his family.
