Nolan’s left eye was surgically removed, and he was fitted for a prosthetic eye, his 'superhero eye' as he likes to call it," the 7-Eleven website says. "In August of that year, he started chemotherapy at CHRISTUS Children’s and comple ted his treatment in time for his 4th birthday."

The website also notes, "Round up or donate at checkout through Aug. 27 to help us continue to support Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals."
