Hi guys, my name is Jason and I am a volunteer at St. Baldricks.
St. Baldricks is a Childhood cancer chairty that funds research to help find cures for children with cancer.
I want to tell you a story about a kid name Dylan.
Dylan was a kid with many potentials. He had many dreams. At the age of 7, he wrote about wanting to excel in all the arts, and he hoped to use his skill to become a film maker. It was then that he made his first video documentary.
Everything was fine until September 28th, 2004 when Dylan was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a very aggressive form of bone cancer.
After his diagnosis, he quick began making video diaries of his treatment procedures and his daily life.
He hoped to make his video diaries into a documentary but was unable to edit the rest of the video footage he had filmed because he had taken a turn for the worst in April 2005 because he had to stay in the ICU.
however, staff at the All children's hospital was able to piece together some of their own footage and completed Dylan's documentary.
Sadly, Dylan released his struggle with Ewing's Sarcoma and left the world on June 8th, 2005.
Dylan is one of the many kids that were helped by St. Baldrick's charity foundation, and his story touched me. I do not know Dylan personally, but I select him to be the kid that I honor all my work to.
To help other kids like Dylan, I am a volunteer at St. Baldricks, and I urge you to make a difference today and spread the word.
Thank you.
