Jake 1 / Cancer 0

Jake 1 / Cancer 0
It was only a few short years ago that Jake Silberg and his parents were on vacation in Italy when he took ill. In the hospital they discovered that Jake was dealing with a form of blood cancer. He was in an Italian hospital for a number of weeks and then medivac-ed home where he was treated at Sloan Kettering.

Today Jake and his friend Ben Donald, both TSTI teens, participated in a triathlon in to raise money for blood cancer research. 
Here's Jake crossing the finish line.

I asked Jake what he thought would be a good caption for this picture and he responded, "Jake 1 / Cancer 0". Works for me!
