This is very sad. I have to admit I wasn’t very much aware of this going on. I don’t pay a lot of attention to some of the details during the off-season, and apparently this was brought up at the end of a press conference that I probably didn’t listen to anyway.
kudos to Manny Diaz and all the people at the University for the shout out to this kid, hopefully it relieved some of his pain that he was enduring in his battle.
Special shoutout to @bradtejeda who did an excellent job in facilitating and creating awareness of young Luca’s fight, and probably was the one responsible for getting Manny and the university to acknowledge it and follow up. Great job Brad.
My heart goes out to his family and their suffering, little Luca’s fight is now over. He sounded like a courageous little man.
That’s really, really sad. Kid never got to even start his life. Definitely feel for their family. Hopefully they can find closure in the fact that he won’t have to suffer any longer. RIP
Rest in heaven young Cane! You’ll forever have orange and green in your blood! Mad props to @bradtejeda for bringing this fight to light for the Canes family. Prayers on prayers to the Ruskin family. We’re here for you!
His dad tweeted a video around a week ago of a 6 yr old Leukemia survivor returning to school and all of his classmates lined up in the hallway cheering and welcoming him back. He said something to the extent of what he wouldn't do for that to happen for Luca. Was the first thing I thought of when I saw the post tonight. Horrible.
