Julius Castro a senior at Poly High school. He is also captain of the football team. Wednesday April, 13th he noticed a lump on his neck and went to urgent care. They later transferred him to Loma Linda. He stayed a few nights while they ran tests. They discovered another mass above his heart and both masses contained cancer. It was discovered that it is Stage 2 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

He had a surgery to remove the mass in his neck. He started his 4 month long journey of chemotherapy on April 15th. He has been very positive after finding out this life altering news. His faith in the Lord helped him stay strong through this trial. He still enjoys trying to stay as active as possible.

Vincent was diagnosed with a Neuroblastoma tumor between his left lung and spine on October 23rd 2014, at age 6. He had surgery to remove the large tumor a few weeks later. Unfortunately, two cancerous tumors grew back by March 2015. He then had 8 rounds of intense chemo and 12 rounds of radiation. January 25th 2016 is his official remission date.
Last week Vincent had his scans and labs done... today he is 6 years 3 months cancer free!!

Started with the idea of wanting to help King High students understand the importance of cancer prevention and giving them a "face to go along with the disease," Rod Warren and Todd Pollard, teachers at King, decided to establish this game.

Each year, before the game, the teams are on the field and a special person from the community is introduced by Susie Jaggers, our game M.C., to throw out the first pitch. We have been honored to have a Riverside Police Officer, three teachers, a local football coach and two students represent the thousands affected by cancer each year
