Fundraiser to help Bloke fight rare cancer reaches $ 150,000 in one day

There are so many things in the world that it's easy to miss little things that make you smile.

One of those things might be conservation efforts to save an endangered species or a foster mother getting hundreds of cards on Mother's Day. They might not climb to the top of your newsreel, but these are important stories that make you smile.

Another of these stories comes from Ireland, where people have come together to help a guy struggling with a rare form of cancer.

Although many GoFundMe pages work at the same time, the one dedicated to Lee Wallace is special because of the amount of money collected in such a short time.

In just one day, nearly 2,400 people pledged 150,000 Australian dollars. This is an astronomical sum in 24 hours and this will help the 26 year old player to fight against a rare bone sarcoma in his pelvis.

His GoFundMe says, "Lee's tumor is so rare that it has never been seen by British or Chinese specialists." It's a mix of osteosarcoma, sarcoma, and sarcoma. Ewings and spindle cell sarcoma, so that a definitive diagnosis was not possible.

"In terms of treatment, this was a major stumbling block because the doctors did not know how to proceed." To complicate matters further, Lee's cancer has now spread to his lungs.

"After doing a lot of research, we are aware of treatment options in other countries, but unfortunately, these treatments have a high price.Your financial support will give Lee the best chance of finding treatment and a chance. to live."

His life changed last year when he went to the hospital with throbbing leg pains, thinking that it was only d & # 39; 39, a contracted muscle. He has undergone numerous tests that have confirmed the presence of cancer.

Lee's family hopes that all oncologists specializing in this field will be able to help the young man fight against his cancer.

"In Ireland, there is no specialist in oncological sarcomas or orthopedic specialist in pelvic sarcomas -" said his GoFundMe. "Therefore, Lee can not be operated on at home."

Although Lee still has a long way to go, he certainly restores your faith in humanity, so many people can come together to become a complete stranger.
