Both children are in the battle of a lifetime against the meanest monster ever – cancer.

Team 8 – Go Greyhound!
October 23rd would have been a normal school day for Christian Medina, Timothy, and Peter Green. But a car accident on the way to school ended Christian’s young life and reminded the entire community that none of us is promised tomorrow. A great kid and passionate baseball player as a member of the LPA Greyhounds, Christian Medina was remembered as polite, funny, kind, and caring. Even in death he was giving, as many of his organs were donated to help others live. Also injured in the crash, twins Timothy and Peter Green continue their recovery, and while everyone whose lives were touched by this tragedy, the families are also struggling financially, without proper insurance coverage, and, as always, the community is coming together to show its love and support.
