INDIANAPOLIS — After 860 days of chemotherapy, 17-year-old Benny Ray rang the bell at Riley Hospital for Children to celebrate the end of his leukemia treatment — but his day was made even more special by a familiar surprise. 40 firefighters from the Plainfield Fire Department came to support Benny and meet the other patients at the hospital. They even arrived in a firetruck. Benny's dad, Michael Ray is a 17-year veteran of the department.
'I don't know how people go through this without this kind of support but I know for the others who are still going through this I pray there's a light at the end of the tunnel,' Michael Ray said. 'Everybody should be able to ring this bell and if not, let life shine through you no matter what that's what done.
