These kids are facing scary stuff like cancer, cystic fibrosis, and injuries from accidents we don’t even want to imagine.

This started as a research paper for an English Composition class. The focus of the paper was to pick a topic that could be debated and may even stir up controversy. (I think i succeeded there…)
