ON MAY 6, 2009, KYLE O’BRIEN  A HOPATCONG RESIDENT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH JUVENILE PILOCYTIC ASTROCYTOMA (JPA) AND AN INOPERABLE BRAIN TUMOR.  SINCE THEN KYLE HAS UNDERGONE CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR.  HE HAS HAD 3 SURGERIES AND IS BEING TREATED IN MORRISTOWN MEMORIAL HOSPITAL AND THE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA (CHOP).  KYLE RECENTLY JUST FOUND OUT THAT HE WILL HAVE TO RECEIVE RADIATION TREATMENT (PROTON RADIATION) AT CHOP FOR ABOUT 6 TO 8 WEEKS WHERE THE FAMILY WILL HAVE TO RELOCATE AT THIS TIME TO PHILADELPHIA.  KYLE IS 10 YEARS OLD

It has been a very long 2 years for the O'Brien family and they need all the help they can get because of their mounting medical bills. Kyle has a brother, Jason, and a Mom & Dad, Jennifer & Patrick O’Brien. Please consider sponsoring me, any amount is greatly appreciated, so that I can play for Kyle.
