PS3 Brings Hope To 10 year old Cancer Sufferer
Posted on November 7, 2009	by Shak

10 year old Ryan Clayborn has been suffering from Muscular Dystrophy and Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2, but none of his health concerns affected the smile which crept across his face once his wish was granted by the Kids Wish Network.

Last month, Ryan received a new Playstation 3, along with loads of games and puzzles from the Florida-based charity. According to his father Victor, it just made his day and he hasn’t been able to stop playing.

“They help out a lot of kids and of course he has MS and MENS type 2 cancer,” Victor Clayborn said. “Once they heard about Ryan, they said they would help. “He’ll go in [his room] and spend up to 4-5 hours playing games and we won’t see him until supper. Then he’ll go back after and play for another couple of hours. He loves it.”

How nice of the charity to do that

the boy must be having lots of fun....hope he gets well....even though I know its cancer, we can still hope

Thats very heart warming..how serious is his cancer?

I thought it was going to have something to do with Folding@home.

Well, that's good to know. I guess the PS3 really does everything, even bring a smile to an ailing child's face.

In my home town (A town of about 900) the Make a Wish foundation built a barn for a kid with a terminal illness. I don't know exactly what the illness was, but it left him wheelchair bound and unable to speak or use his hands, and at the age of 11, he did not have long to live.

Anyways, the kid went to a petting zoo and saw a donkey, and at the sight of the donkey the kid became so excited that he was able to actually get out of the wheelchair and stand up, which I don't think he'd ever done before. The Donkey had such an effect on him that the owner gave him the donkey (which he, or his parents, named Patrick) and the Make a Wish foundation built a small barn and paddock for the donkey in their yard.

So every time I went to the corner store (only store in town), there was this donkey braying loudly in this family's lawn. It was simultaneously bizarre and uplifting.

That's my story...

I'm not sure

I hope not too serious

T3H CELL brings happiness to all.

Very nice indeed. :)

wow wonderful story stof.

The donkey....I wonder why it had such an effect though

& how nice of the donkey's owner was it to actually give it to the family....good people still exist in this world

When I hear stories like yours I feel very nice

I'm glad its bought him joy
