Wings of Hope ~ Hunter Winship

♥Have A Heart♥

On January 12th, 2008 Hunter Winship, a five-year old boy, has been diagnosed with a rare form of non Hodgkins's Lymphoma




Hunter Winship began his quest several weeks ago as a patient at Buffalo's Women's and Children's Hospital. He has spent the past month there during his fight against Burkitt's Lymphoma, a rare form of cancer characterized by rapidly growing tumors.

"We've told him he has cancer and they're going to make his tummy aches go away and that he's going to lose his hair," said Hunter's mother, Cheryl Winship.

Cheryl said it is hard for Hunter to understand his illness, and that she and his aunt decided he needed a distraction from the seemingly endless hospital stays and tests.

That's when they came up with the idea of breaking a world record. They discovered that there were already records for the largest paper airplane, the smallest paper airplane, and the longest paper airplane flight. There was not, however, a record for the most number of paper airplanes received.

"We originally started this as a way to help out Hunter and we never dreamed this would help out the whole family," Cheryl said.




Can you make a paper airplane? Then you can help a little boy at Buffalo Women and Children's Hospital make it into the record books.
