Josiah was born in 2001 and is the youngest of 5 children. He has 2 sisters and 2 brothers. Josiah was diagnosed with Leukemia on January 12, 2007 at the age of 5. He has endured many rounds of chemotherapy, as well as other medications. He is our hero because he has taught us all the true meaning of life. He has pain nearly everyday of his life, but never lets it stop him from accomplishing what he has his heart set on.
