My Story

Hi. My name is Ruben Correa. I'm 27 and attending Chicago City College.  I've survived ALL, twice, and had a Stem Cell Transplant in 2015.  I thank my donor everyday for donating her stem cells so that one day she might help save someone's life.  Turned out to be mine. But my journey started with childhood cancer and I'm so appreciative to everyone who donates to St. Baldrick's so they can fund research that will someday find cures for childhood cancers.  Thank you to my dad who is shaving for the 10th year and has graduated to the "Knight of the Bald Table" level in the League of Legendary Heroes.
