WHY DREAMS COME TRUE

"Just looking at him, and seeing what all he's been through, he just keeps going and is incredibly positive, that's what you have to do to beat this."

Just a quick update for you all. This past Wednesday night, Tristin Greer, a 14 year old cancer patient that I told you all about in WHY CARING SPEAKS VOLUMES, did in fact throw out that first pitch at the Yankees Indians game, all organized by a man named Dr. Thomas Haveron. Doc also brought 10 year old Leslie with him who is suffering from the same cancer as Tristin. Both Doc and Leslie were there to cheer him on. It was a very special event and a beautiful night for all. If you haven't read about Tristin or Leslie, take a moment and do it.

Also, watch this local story on the event brought to you by WRCB-TV. In it, there is an interview with both Tristin and his father Jason Greer. It makes you stop and think about life.


Doc Haveron founded the MVP Foundation and is helping people affected by cancer by using his connections and just helping to put smiles on their faces. I said it before and I'll say it again, the doc has Bleeding Yankee Blue's support, he's doing great work. Everyone should take a page from the Doc's playbook. Kindness speaks volumes.

If I am able to get a photo or video of the first pitch, I'm sure to post it, and I'll let you know, believe me. Congrats Tristin. What a night it must have been.
