Former Montreal Canadiens forward Ryan White and his family have received terrible news.

As my colleague Cimon Asselin (RDT) also reports, Ryan White experienced a terrible nightmare upon learning that his son Gordie has.. incurable cancer.

Just writing that gives me chills down my back and brings tears to my eyes.

However, it’s so important to talk about the absolutely incredible and inspiring courage of young Gordie.

Ryan White’s son is raising funds for cancer research

To see a little 6-year-old boy show such courage and try to make a difference for others is truly one of the most inspiring things I have ever seen in my life.

I will remember this story for a long time. Gordie White is a true little warrior.

Gordie’s astounding courage

We want to send the biggest wave of courage and support to Gordie, and also to the entire White family.

Ryan White is currently caring for his little boy full-time.

According to the most recent news we have, Gordie is stable and continues his fight admirably. The young man is also working very hard to raise funds that will go to research.

So, in addition to fighting his own battle against the illness, he’s working hard to raise donations.. Wow!

Last year, little Gordie donated $14,000 to a doctor at CancerCare Manitoba.. $14,000!

We want to send lots of love to Ryan, Sarah, and Gordie White! Their little boy is an extremely inspiring and courageous young man!
