Скачать или смотреть Meet Lance Kopplin

I get a few stares. But I like to think its because my hairs cool.

The positive attitude 10 -year-old Lance Kopplin has is remarkable, especially considering the battle he started at just six years old.

When he was six, doctors told Lance and his family that he had rhabdomyosarcoma a cancerous tumor in his eye. It was serious. The tumor quickly spread to his brain, and after a relapse his doctors predicted a 0% chance of survival.

The Kopplins didnt want to accept that prognosis. Instead, they wanted to give Lance every chance to overcome the cancer. While the family lived in Wisconsin, they spent the next year traveling to see doctors that would give him the best treatment. Doctors told the Kopplins that Lances brothers and sister should be involved in his care, saying it could help with a recovery.

The family stayed in four Ronald McDonald Houses in four different cities a total of 200 nights. Throughout Lances treatment, my family had nothing to worry about except getting Lance better. There were no bills to pay, chores to worry about or meals to make. There was just love and support to give to Lance. And, because of Ronald McDonald House Charities, those 200 nights only cost about $400, says Jolene, Lances mom.

Following the doctors advice made a difference to Lance and his whole family. Its been more than three years since the Kopplins got the bad news, and Lance is now totally cancer-free.
