Team Angel Fish: Remembering Jeff Balch
"I couldn't see very well and I was getting a lot of headaches," said fourth grader Jeff Balch. That was last fall, just before doctors discovered that a malignant optic nerve tumor was affecting Jeff's vision. "They told me if it got bigger it could destroy this eye," said Jeff, pointing to his right eye and sounding much older than his nine years. "I was a little nervous when I found out about the tumor, but not too scared."
