Austins fight

[*NastyJeff*]

Hello everyone,
A 16 year old young man who has been like a son to me was diagnosed with cancer a few days ago; talk about a crappy Christmas!
Anyway, he will be starting Chemo soon and I know that it will be a huge financial battle for his family.
If you know anyone, any organizations that can help them out, even if it is just a dollar, you are invited to help.
Thanks all!

As difficult as this is for the parents and people around anyone with cancer what ultimately helps is knowing people do care and they are not fighting any battle alone. I have worked professionally with such young people and believe you me they are far stronger than you think and far more able to fight such set backs as this diagnosis.

As much as I don't like face book that much, there is a great little community called Battling buddies.
