Something nice for a change of pace

[Raeph]

Given all the discusses of war, death, destruction and mayhem on the general forums today, I thought I'd post something more uplifting.

Three years ago, Kylie Simonds was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a soft tissue cancer.

“I lost my hair and always used to get sick easily,” Kylie told WTNH.

“I used to have to use the I-V poles and I always tripped over all the wires. It was hard to walk around, and I always had to have someone push it for me because I was kind a weak when I was in chemo.”

So Kylie came up with the idea of a pediatric I-V backpack.

“They are very light and they’re more convenient,” she said, compared to the poles normally used. “To have something small for them and not as big like when I first went into the office, I was like — whoa — those things are huge and scary.”

The prototype won a number of awards at the recent CT Invention Convention.

Smart kid made something useful for people after going through a terrible ordeal.

Clever kid.

But really, OP? 'There has been too much talk about death and war recently; so here's an 11-year old with cancer'. Much better.
