STAY MOTIVATED

This is a photo of a 14-year-old lymphoma patient and his sister. It was published in a Boston newspaper last month to raise awareness about childhood cancers which sadly does not receive much funding in our nation. This is the caption for the photo...

"AJ Piniewski, age 14, shares a moment with his sister during his last month of treatment for Burkitt's lymphoma in late 2007. AJ's Dad: "AJ was a happy, healthy, athletic young man starting high school. He was diagnosed with Burkitts Lymphoma on Father's Day 2007, and left us on January 5, 2008. He is forever our son and brother and we love him and miss him more than words can describe."

Lets continue to run strong and fight so that no parent has to lose a child to lymphoma.
