Meet Pittsburgh's John Challis

WEDNESDAY, MAY 14 2008

I've gone back and forth on whether or not I should post a story I read recently about 18-year-old John Challis, a Pittsburgh resident who is dying of terminal cancer.

On one hand, I argued with myself that a story such as the following shouldn't be publicized or shared to gain readership on a stupid blog.

However, I countered that by realizing that it was a story, one intended to inform and the Post Gazette's Mike White a wonderful job of that.

I eventually settled on posting the link (as you've probably figured out), and I hope that you enjoy this story as much as I did. What an amazing person and a true inspiration to us all.
