Malik's Medical & Family Support

Posted by Bob Diosdado on Oct 25 2015 at 05:00PM PDT
One of our league's parents is asking for your help. Her name is Heather Thornton and is the UIC for North Park Little League. Heather is going thru any parent's worst nightmare, having to deal with her son's recent diagnoses that he has bone cancer.

Malik is 12 years old and was recently diagnosed with Osteosarcoma.  Osteosarcoma is the most common histological form of primary bone cancer. It is most prevalent in children and young adults. Currently, it is in his leg and they are running test to rule out any spread of the disease. For those of you that don't know Malik, he is a force of nature. Anyone who has ever met him, whether it is through sports or school loves him. He has a wonderful smile and the heart of a giant. Malik has been playing baseball and football since he was born.

This will be the fight of his life. Although Heather is sure that Malik will handle his part, she is asking for help with the rest. Due to horrible twists for fate, Heather is currently unemployed, without a car and living with friends. She would really like to be able to have a home with a bed for him (rather than a couch) where he can heal and rest. This is going to test all of their strength. Her boys are her life and she lives for them. Please take a minute and go to her GoMeFund webpage.... https://www.gofundme.com/7m5swn94. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.
