On September 11, 2013, our wonderful Assistant Principal, Lesley Ryan, was rocked by the news that her then 18 month old son, Rex, had Stage 4 Neuroblastoma cancer. Since that day, Rex and his family have spent most of their days at Dell Children's Hospital where Rex has proven to be a true warrior. He has a huge circle of RexStrong supporters, including the faculty and staff of his mom's campus.
This week, the Ryan family began one of the last legs of this long journey as they traveled to Houston where Rex will receive a stem cell transfusion at the end of the month. Tonight, Lesley sent me this photo of Rex watching the Iditarod Start video. How very cool is it that this little dude that we have all been supporting since September 11 is now supporting us as we embark upon this journey.
Alaska is about to become a part of the RexStrong community!
