Michael
Bretz has a passion for basketball, a talent for cooking and an unending love
for talking. When he isn't shooting hoops on the court or whipping up a new
version of chicken cordon bleu, Michael is talking to other kids about cancer.
Diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes, Michael underwent aggressive cancer treatment for several years at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. “They were wonderful to me” the doctors and nurses always understood what I was going through,” says Michael. “I hope that I can help other kids going through the same thing."
Today, Michael shows no sign of cancer, and volunteers helping other children with cancer. Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital offers young patients the finest in cancer treatment by a dedicated team of pediatric cancer specialists. Every day our trusted professionals battle to save young adults just like Michael. It's why we're here.
