My whole reason for writing on and researching this topic is because earlier this year my little brother's best friend was diagnosed with Burkitt's Lymphoma cancer. It is a very rare type of lymphoma that is mostly found in young children of Africa. Timmy was an extremely healthy and active fourteen year old until one day he and his parents found a large knot on his neck. They went to have it tested and found out that it was cancer. My family knows Timmy through many years of playing baseball on my dad's travel team and a very close friendship between him and my brother and this was a complete devastation for us all. I remember the day that Timmy's family found out about the cancer. I saw his mom and it amazed me at how confident she was that God was going to get us all through this ordeal. I have made sure to not let that slip my mind. God can get us through anything and I know he will get Timmy through this very hard time. It has become my brother, the baseball team, and myself job to find ways to raise money for Timmy's chemo treatments. As a baseball team, we had always collected plastic bottle caps to give to cancer patients for free chemo treatments. I thought that would be a great way to support Timmy...until I researched it. I quickly found out that it was an Internet hoax. We were all a little devastated that our quick fix to help Timmy wasn't a fix at all. After putting our heads together, we have found many other ways to help Timmy and his family with medical expenses and have raise thousands of dollars in the last few months but it still continued to bother me that people were showing up to hospitals with thousands of plastic bottle caps in hopes of being able to receive chemo treatments and only getting rejected. I really think that it is possible for a soda company to fund cancer patients in some way by the return and recycling of plastic bottle caps. It would not only help the cancer patients, but it would also increase sales and popularity with soda companies and help to keep the environment "green".Tuesday, April 19, 2011
