        **** I can't stand when certain people have to go through so many severe disadvantages compared to luckier people

        breaks my ****ing heart.. I wish life could be fair for everybody.

        I hope he becomes a great promoter one day and all his dreams come true.

            the amazing thing is that he is always joking around in the gym etc...hardly ever talks about himself like this...listening to him here let me learn a whole bunch of new stiuff abput him, how he thinks, what this program did for him...amazing how "communicative" hew has became despite his young age and his ailment...

                    What a great kid. I wish him the best of luck to him. And also that was nice of Oliver to spar with him like that.
