It's an incredible sad news for former Flyer Ryan White and his family. His first born son, Gordie Joseph Ryan White, has been diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour, DIPG.
As we can read on the gofundmepage created to support the family, DIPG is an agressive form of brain cancer mostly found in children ages 7-10. There's a 0% survival rate associated to this disease.
Gordie will start a 6-week radiation treatment in order to "gain a little more time with all of us".
This is a very sad news, and we send our prayers to the White Family.
