7A Boy ... A Bump ... Beating the Odds ...

Young Darius Mekial Huskey had a dream.

Since he was four, he wanted to play basketball ... to become an NBA player.
Since he was four, he watched basketball on TV when he was at home.
Since he was four, he has memorized the plays and moves of great players.

At seven, a bump on his head revealed he had a rare disorder called Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis. His body was making too many of the white blood cells that impacted his immune system. One out of 200,000 children are impacted a year.
LCH could easily destroy his dreams ... and him if it wasn't immediately treated.
This is Darius' story and what he did so he could start living his dream again.

Darius Mekial Huskey dreams, eats, and plays basketball. He lives with his family in Colorado.
