The local teen will spend the next year undergoing surgeries and receiving chemotherapy after a recent diagnosis of Ewing Sarcoma.
Milford, CT - Sean Cleary, 14, was about to embark on his high school career at Joseph A. Foran High School in the fall when he became diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, which is a type of tumor that forms in bone or soft tissue.
