IL - Rantoul - 8 yr. Old With Cancer - July 9th

Post by SL9965 »

Troops,

After a rocky start we were finally able to visit Cory in Rantoul. He had been going back and forth so much to the hospital, that his parents couldn't find time for us to visit.

On the 9th, we surprised Cory at his house. We suited up in a house across the street and were given lunch by some of "Cory's Crew". Once we got ready, we walked over to his house. We walked inside to a very surprise boy and his friends. Once inside, we presented Cory with the Force FX saber his parents got him. I also gave him a care package from River (he's from Rantoul), MWG and Rebel Legion shirts (thanks Jen), a MWG patch and many of our trading cards. Corey and I "dueled" so he could try out his new saber and we posed for pictures with him and his friends. As we left, I hugged Cory and I told him "Get well soon."

We went back over to the neighbor's house and soon Cory and his mother came over to see us. He got to see us with our helmets off and we talked for some time.

This was another great event for the MWG. We all hope that Cory will get well soon.
