SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Cancer is a word that scares everyone. Childhood cancer is a term that makes our hearts ache.
But the Children’s Hospital Colorado’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders is taking a proactive stand against cancer and has once again teamed up with the Rockies to create a special weekend for victims of the disease.
On Friday, 23 teenage cancer patients and 15 of their caregivers arrived at the Rockies’ spring training complex at Salt Rivers Fields. They got the chance to sample life with big leaguers and forget about their disease for a few days.
