Remember Sophia Espiritu? She's a pediatric cancer patient diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytos (LCH), who didn't want any gifts for her 10th birthday last year.
Instead, this junior hero raised ~$13,000 to buy ComfyChemo® shirts for other pediatric patients at the Stony Brook Cancer Center.
Tonight, Sophia will be sharing her story at 6pm (ET) by delivering a presentation through Faith Speaks, a faith based program produced by incmedia.org. Tune in!

When Christopher K. Pendergast was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig’s Disease, he was told he had three years to live. He lived 28 years instead. And what a 28 years they were.
Chris, who died on Oct. 14 at age 71, went on to found the ALS Ride for Life in 1997, raising over $10 million for ALS research. The Center for ALS at Stony Brook Medicine now bears his name. And along the way, he met with everyone from U.S. Presidents to legislators to the manager of the New York Yankees. It was all part of his unending quest to help others.
