Some North Texas teens will gather on April 24 at Riders Park in Frisco to 'go to bat' for sick children. It's the 1st Annual Strike Out Pediatric Leukemia Charity Baseball Game.
- America's pastime has always been more than just a game. Keller High School sophomore Brayden Dunbar says,"You can't go wrong playing baseball."
Those people include 8-year-old Amelia Dammen. Diagnosed with leukemia just over a year ago, she's in remission and doing much better after a recent bone marrow transfer. Amelia's father, Michael, began explaining,"A young man from Germany, who her perfect match was..." before being cut off by Amelia playfully added"Though, I don't speak German." Michael continued,"Right now she's 99% donor cells. They want you to be 98 to 100%.
It's an idea that originated with Jordan Seinera, 15, who said plainly,"it sucks. Kids growing up with something like that is terrible and I wanted to give back to them by doing something like this. It makes me feel good to know that I'm helping them." Who knows better than a young man who currently stands 6'3", but was still considered a small child in 2018 when the matriarch of the Dunbar family -- his grandma and Doug's mom -- passed away from leukemia.
