Prayers for a Friend

Danny, age 12, is a friend of the firm. Danny has cancer.

The family hoped for continued good reports after long treatments of chemotherapy. Recently, the tumor returned and Danny bravely faced another surgery.

He's currently in ICU and his Dad reports that he's doing well. They are exploring new treatment options after surgery.

If you pray, please keep Danny in your prayers. If you don't, please keep a good thought for a 12 year boy who is facing the ultimate challenge.
