Washington Park senior John Tierney was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia after he started having pain in his leg while on vacation with his family in Florida. "I thought it was just growing pains, but no, it had to be cancer," he joked. His good friend, Danielle Frost, is organizing a walk on May 23 to John's house that will be preceded by some students and teachers shaving their heads in solidarity. "John starts some pretty intense chemo next week so I want to show him that people support and care about him," Frost said. "He's one of the nicest people on the planet and he doesn't deserve this." Tierney said he struggles with how to thank Frost and the rest of the Park family for their support and he plans to come up with something before the walk Thursday.
