Sounds like a he's made some promising leads. Now, if the government and his schools would just step back and let him work, that would be such a blessing!

God bless ~

It's such a good feeling to see someone so young devote his life in finding a cure for cancer. I know it won't be during my time but he could possibly save so many lives in the future. I just hope the medical establishment doesn't hold him down..

May he be guided in the right direction...
