This is Ismael.
He's in 3rd grade and his favorite subject is science.
We talked to Ismael as part of a series we are working on with University Hospitals and Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
At 8 years old, he's is battling Ewing Sarcoma — a very rare cancer that only affects about 200 children and young adults each year in the United States.
Throughout September, you’ve seen stories, like Ismael's, on our Facebook and Instagram pages, as well as on News5Cleveland.com.
