You will find this is a heartwarming story about an 11 year old boy named Ryan who turned into a lion. The story shows how Ryan and his parents dealt with the changes taking place in Ryan's life. Ryan is just trying to live a normal life by participating in activities that any 11 year old boy would. I attempted to write a story as lighthearted as possible that dealt with a child who had an unforgiving illness. And I wrote this story in memory of my friends son as he passed away from cancer. His name was Ryan. Some of the proceeds are going towards CHOP.
