Cecil community carols for cancer-stricken student
Keeping their candles lit and lyrics illuminated in the sub-freezing weather, Cecil community members sang carols for Luke Blanock and his family in front of their home Saturday evening.
Cecil residents and their children huddled together to stay warm and to protect their candlelight while caroling for Luke Blanock and his family.
Almost a hundred people gathered outside Luke Blanock’s house overlooking Cecil Elementary Saturday evening to sing Christmas Carols for him and his family.
Blanock, 18, continued to play basketball at Canon-McMillan High School while undergoing treatment for Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare bone cancer.
His condition has entered its terminal stage, according to family, so community members huddled together in sub-freezing weather to keep candles lit and spirits high as they sang in honor of him.
