A few weeks ago, I met another little boy with Pontine Glioma. His name is Jordan Malave and he was first diagnosed with Pontine Glioma when he was only two and a half. I met Jordan with his dad Jayson, and spent an hour on the phone with his mom, Leeana Castro.

Last month, my good friend Vito Bruno produced a concert celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Freestyle at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City. He had promised that a portion of the proceeds from the event would benefit the Cristian Rivera Foundation and this week, he handed me a $6,000 check.
