Champion Child - Weston Funk

Weston Funk - Champion Child

Weston Funk of Overland Park, KS, isn’t your typical 11-year old boy. At the age of 8, he suddenly began tiring easily and maintained a low grade fever that just wouldn’t go away. His parents took him to the doctor, just to have him "checked out". The next day Weston was admitted to the intensive care unit at Children’s Mercy Hospital with a diagnosis of leukemia. Within weeks Weston’s parents were given the final diagnosis of Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia (JMML), a very rare type of childhood Leukemia.
