The power and support of his friends is simply, amazing!!! From the Newspapers, translated…

The young cancer patient from Pomegranate Elementary School in Yunlin, Huang asked for a day off out of the hospitals, returned back to his elementary school for one last relay race with his classmates. He was the last leg for the relay, and the entire class ran alongside him, giving him courage all the way to the end, hoped that he’ll return to class soon enough.

The sixth grade student, Huang was diagnosed with leukemia, and entered and checked out of the hospital nine times this year, and is undergoing chemotherapy right now, he’d not returned to school in months. A short while ago, the president of the PTA at his school announced that there will be a sports competition in school on FB, as Huang saw the messages, he’d replied “I really want to be a part of this”, and a “crying face emoticon”.

As the school learned, with the help from his mother, the hospital, and the school, yesterday afternoon, Huang was given a break from the hospitals, to return to his elementary school to the competitions. In order to allow him to participate with the rest of the members of his class, they’d put him into the relay races, as the last leg.

As the relay team arrived to the last leg, the other two competitors were ready to run off, but Huang’s classmates called out to them, “Don’t run, wait for him!”, and everybody slowed down her/his pace, waited until Huang received the baton, and everybody ran alongside him; as he passed the finishing lines, everybody cheered for him, and applauded him, his classmates all rushed up to hug him tightly.

The school gave Huang the “most courageous” award, he said he was a bit out of breath, but “I wanted to run with everybody else”. As the companion running classmates heard him, they were all very moved.

The principal, Tsai said, that Huang enjoyed playing sport belonged to the puppeteer club at school, and entered into competition with his fellow students, and gotten the first place trophy for the entire county.

And so, from this, you can see, that this young man’s dreams had come true, with the help from his fellow classmates, his school, and his parents, as well as the hospital, and, it certainly puts that bit of sunny skies back into his life, as he will continue to battle it out with his cancer!
