The Pittsburgh Penguins organization released a statement on their webpage yesterday extending sympathy to John Challis' family and friends as his two-year battle with liver and lung cancer ended. The amount of support that has been shown to John and his family over the past few months speaks volumes about the young man and the amount of people he touched throughout his short life of 18 years.
"The Penguins organization would like to express our deepest sympathy to the family of John Challis on John’s passing. John was an extraordinarily courageous young man who touched all of our lives with his strength, passion, dignity and caring for others. Because of his attitude and actions, especially in the last year of his life when he faced so much adversity, his memory will last forever."Just as Challis' message spread throughout the country, so too has the word of his passing and all media venues have decided to pay tribute. The blogosphere is no exception, so I feel compelled to join my fellow bloggers in extending my deepest sympathies to the Challis family. With as many lives as John has touched, I'm certain that his memory will live on and continue to help make this world a better place.
Courage + believe = life.
Life ain't about how many breaths you take. It's what you do with those breaths.
