Anthony Rizzo Writes Touching Letter to Little Boy with Cancer

When a friend of mine told me her little boy was diagnosed with unilateral retinoblastoma I had no idea what to say; what do you say? All that came to mind was "I'm so sorry," and "I'll be sure to keep Henry in my thoughts and prayers."  If only I had more experience, maybe I could've come up with something better to say. But maybe that's all any parent who has a child that's been diagnosed with cancer really needs to hear.

Anthony Rizzo, on the otherhand, knows all the right things to say and then some. Just take a look at this letter that he sent to 22 month old Parker Hopkins, who was recently diagnosed with luekemia.

Best wishes to Parker and the Hopkins family; here's hoping he gets better soon and special thanks to Anthony Rizzo for being an all around class act. We're proud to have you as a Chicago Cub.
