Very sad. Thing is, there is one or more of these kids in every town. Not too mention all of the young adults who die much too early. This is why I crunch.

 I know my output isn't much compared to RAMMIE, but I only have a limited amount of hardware and it is important to me to do as much as I can with it. The points just make for some fun competition

Wow man, this has to be one of the saddest things I've seen. As a kid all you want is Christmas to come and knowing your kid won't be making it must just be destructive! Thank god the parents though of a plan and moved it up so that at least when his time comes he at least was able to enjoy this years Christmas. My wishes and prayers go out to him and his family.

I can't currently afford to crunch or fold lately. Really wish I could.
