Richard was diagnosed with childhood cancer Ewing's Sarcoma in February by a biopsy of his lump on his left forearm. (He even named this lump Bob). Richie finished his 6th round of chemo at the University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital. Soon he will also have a stem cell transplant. He and his mom will need to be there at least 60 days, so our school had a fundraiser called "Run for Richie" this past week. It was so awesome as the varsity and JV baseball and track teams ran in addition to our MS track and softball teams. Many other students participated along with lots of staff members. The donation was $5 per person. The track team set a goal of $500 and tripled it by raising a total of $1531!!
Here is Richie...ALWAYS a smile on his face.
Richie rode his bike alongside Ryan, one of our 8th graders.
Here is the whole gang!! His mom was so touched by all of the support for her son!!
