Extra Life spotlight: Luis

September 4th, 2008 · 3 Comments

On October 18th, gamers worldwide will come together for a 24 hour gaming marathon to raise awareness and money to fight pediatric cancer.  Extra Life is going to be an incredible experience and we want you to be a part of it.  You can join here.

As we prepare for this event, I thought it only fitting that you learn a little more about the kids you’ll be helping.

Kids like Luis.

Diagnosed at 4, osteosarcoma

Because complaining was not typical behavior for Luis, his mother Delia was particularly concerned that warm April morning in 1998 when her young son said his right leg was hurting. An X-ray at the pediatrician’s office in southeast Houston pinpointed the culprit.  Read more about Luis and his incredible story, here.
