Title: Peyton Manning story I wanted to share
Post by: bamaakt on January 26, 2012, 01:15:16 EST
My 10 year old cousin, Harrison, was diagnosed with Leukemia in early December. He has had trouble with his treatment (blood clots and seizures) and they finally realized he had a very rare form....In fact, St. Jude's confirmed it was the only case in the world. The doctors were trying everything to get him in remission so he could start the next phase of his treatment. Yesterday he went in for bone marrow testing to see if the latest treatment was working and if he was in remission...and he WAS!!! :clap: His doctor was shocked. His doctor then decided to make a few phone calls and guess who called Harrison this morning....Peyton Manning!!! Harrison is beyond excited to have received a personal phone call from Peyton Manning. :wow: Peyton told him that they would get through their problems together and was very encouraging. Now Harrison wants Super Bowl tickets. LOL.  :wink:

I thought you all would like this story. The fact that Peyton Manning took the time to call a very sick little 10 year old touched me deeply. This child will always remember today.
