Ron Phillips is a 13 year old young man who is a Junior Member of the Marsh Creek Bass Club as well as the Tri-County Bass Masters. He is currently fighting a battle that most of us will never even come close to experiencing in our entire lifetime.
On February 27, 2008 Ronald was admitted into AI DuPont hospital for a Grade IV liver laceration from a backyard football game with his friends. For many weeks doctors worked vigorously to support his body’s functions in efforts to allow his liver laceration to heal on its own. While waiting and praying for his liver to heal, Ron was diagnosed with Burkitt’s Leukemia a rare, fast-growing type of blood cancer. Now he would have twice the fight on his hands. To add insult to injury, the liver the doctors were so desperately trying to save did not heal and at 1:00am on Wednesday April 23rd 2008, Ronald received a new liver.
In the weeks since the transplant Ron has remained stable and is making slow and steady progress. However he still has an incredibly long road ahead of him and he needs all of our thoughts and prayers to aid him in making a speedy recovery. Ron and his family need your support and your prayers so that they may all come out of this on top. Do your part to help make this just a little easier for them.
