I just ran across this article on think geek and it really touched my heart. I thought of all you here on MFP and how each of us is a superhero in some way. Being the mighty geek I am I do own a few superhero shirts and plan on sending a photo. I encourage all of you to do the same.
Meet Sam.
He doesn't know it yet, but he's our hero.
Sam is six years old. He loves turtles, frogs, and comic books, hates mint and popsicles, and he has acute myeloid leukemia.
Cancer is a horrible thing for anyone, but especially so for a story-loving kid like Sam. He has a close-knit family and extended network of friends helping him through the emotional exhaustion and physical pain that comes along with cancer and it's treatment, but being six, his grasp of the extended community rallying around him is a loose one.
That's why his mother started Superheroes for Sam: A Photo Project. She wants all of us to send Sam pictures of ourselves in superhero t-shirts to show him undisputed proof of the huge online community wishing him strength.
