JD Tour for 11yo Cancer 'Fighter'.

Yeah, it's a local 'feel good' news story and a nice PR piece for John Deere...

but a story like this is a pleasant change from all of the doom-and-gloom we see on the news each night.

Having lost our grandson at 13 after a three year battle, this story made me lose it also. Perhaps it is PR for JD but I would bet that those workers that had the chance to make this young man's day had "a frog in their throat" too.

My grandson and family went on a Disney cruise thanks to the Make a Wish Foundation. He also had a trip on a Lear jet to move him from one hospital to another but at that point was to ill to enjoy it. We went to visit with "Justin" and his dad while they were staying in a Ronald McDonald house, another very good cause. It was a somber visit to see so many sick children fighting the good fight.

But yes, in spite of what we are bombarded with, there are good people doing good things.
