Wing Chun Kung Fu student fighting for his life with Leukemia
The below letter is from a fellow Sifu in Florida asking for a card from each of us to be sent to his 15-year old student that was recently diagnosed with Leukemia. I'm asking everyone that reads this post to send a card or a letter. - Sifu Adam Williss
There is a family of 3 that participates in my class, mom and her two children. One child who's name is Logan recently has been diagnosed with Leukemia. If you have never seen what this cancer does to someone, pray that you never do. It has been quite depressing for me and the mother of course is absolutely heart broken. Logan is a 15 year old young handsome man who had reached the rolling hands level (in Wing Chun) including catching and running. Now he is fighting for his life. He has not shed a tear and he has not complained. This young man is a marvel to the nurses and doctors at Arnold Palmer hospital as he is stoic in dealing with his condition. I understand why this must happen when it does and logically I accept it. However, I cannot accept that this must happen to innocent people who have done nothing to anyone and who in life are kind and gentle. Is not life truly a mystery? I cannot write much more than this, my heart just is not in it. I will ask all of my kung fu brothers and friends to take a moment and to please send a card of wishing well to this fine young man who refuses to wear nothing but his kung fu shirt in the hospital. Most importantly please take a moment each day to say a quick prayer for Logan. I thank you all with heavy heart and may God bless you and yours.
Cards to Logan should be sent to:
WVTAA Post Office Box 4091
Attention: Logan
Winter Park, FL 32793
Thank you kindly.
