“Ray is our hero because at the age of 4 Ray was diagnosed with AML Ray started treatment immediately,he went into remission about 18 months later, just when Ray was about to start his second road of chemotherapy he received the news that he had a donor match,so Ray went straight in to transplant mode getting test ran and receiving several doses of radiation because upon relapsing his cancer had spread around his spin. Although this was very hard and complicated having to deal with a compromised immune system and receiving blood, and platelets several times a week, Through all this Ray stayed positive thru it all inspiring others including my self Ray has put on concerts and performances for the staff and the patients on 4 west.
