in 2002-2006 I attended Union Catholic High School and in my Junior/Senior year I had became friends with a quite a shy teen; Later I found out that he had a rare bone cancer. On Wednesdays instead of going to my un friendly home room I hung out with Chris in the guidance office when he was able to attend school. Summer 2006 the cancer spread throughout his spine and legs. The cancer progressed to quick and they weren't able to get him back in remission. During the summer I kept checking his myspace page for updates and then on September 5th I found out that he had passed away.
Later on September 5,2006 our Friend Ben Jacobson came to see me after he got my text. It wasn't easy on us hearing the news that he passed away. Ben had no idea the cancer gotten worse. In March 2006 he was declared in remission and they still did treatment but the treatment didn't work and it spread throughout his body.
Student Movement Against Cancer did fundraising events to help the family with the medical bills.
