Meet Austin, diagnosed with T-Cell Leukemia. Soon this friendly, outgoing boy was in for the fight of his life.

When it was time to choose a Cap Hero, Austin says he chose Iron Man because “he is just so awesome.” Austin’s right. Iron Man is a good choice because, no matter what, he never quits and, most importantly, he never loses his sense of humor. These two characteristics comes in handy when fighting cancer.

Good choice, Austin! Like Iron Man, you’re pretty awesome yourself.
