Show Notes

Just 2 days after  playing 4 soccer games on a Saturday afternoon in January of 2007 and leading his travel team to a Pennsylvania State Championship,  14 year old Andrew McDonough had a septic shock, was in cardiac arrest, and was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Never being able to even leave the hospital, Andrew passed away just 167 days after his diagnosis.

Andrew's father Joe will talk about how life changed so quickly for Andrew and the McDonough family, and how the B Positive Foundation that Joe founded has kept Andrew's memory alive and done so much to help the cause of Pediatric Cancer.
