A father's incredible effort to cope with son's terminal cancer


 When his son Joel was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in 2010, game developer Ryan Green stated work on a project deisgned to help him and his family cope with their situation and potentially help others who found themselves facing the same predicament.

The game, titled 'That Dragon, Cancer" was produced through Kick Starter and is due to be released later this year. it's an incredible piece of work, about the bravest of little boys.


Tragically, Joel lost his battle for life on March 14th 2014 at the age of just 5 years old. Hopefully this game will help him to live on way beyond his years and fulfill his father's wishes - "that players might care about my son the way I do."

Here's an extremely touching piece written by The Newyorker.
