“Sad! ANGRY! But we WILL get through this.”

The five year old’s mother, Shaunyl Benson, too shared images of the second term of treatment’s commencement. Here’s what she wrote in the caption:



“THIS is childhood cancer. THIS is happening right now. Every 2 minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer. 1 in 5 of those children will not make it. THIS is our son Johnny Crisstopher @crissangel he has battled for 3 years and has another 3 to go. He is only 5 years old. THIS has been his normal since he was 18 months old.”

Heartbreaking. But we know little Johnny will make it through.

Keep fighting!
