VLACH remembered for spirit, courage
By Jane SIMS,
Free
Press
Reporter,
Mon., April 24, 2006
VLACH:
The
Central secondary grad and athlete died Saturday at
age 19 of cancer.
In his short, extraordinary life, Alex
VLACH taught everyone
around him about living life with dignity. With determination.
With grace.
Cancer was his only enemy. In the end, even
VLACH's unequalled
drive to win was no match for the deadly disease.
VLACH, a Central secondary school graduate and athlete who inspired
his school to reach out to others, died on Saturday at age 19.
He leaves behind a community of family and Friends in awe of
his courageous journey and his unbreakable spirit despite the
odds.
"He's a hero to a lot of people," said teacher and football coach
John VOUVALIDIS.
"He showed us all what amazing things can be accomplished with
strength of spirit and hope," said teacher Martine Bracey
HOFFMAN.
In Grade 10,
VLACH lost his mom to cancer. Within a year, he
was diagnosed with a rare abdominal form of the disease.
When he was 16, after 42 chemotherapy treatments and 12 radiation
treatments, he found an insight into his struggle.
"There are more important things in life than school or money
or work," he said. "Family and Friends mean a lot."
He was a gym rat who tried to shoot baskets every day during
his treatments, said teacher Sharon Young
KIPP. He wasn't allowed
to dress for football, but he still came to practice. He dressed
for the last game of the year.
"He was so strong about it,"
VOUVALIDIS said. "He had this never-give-up
attitude."
The cancer went into remission and stayed away for almost two
years.
"I've always said my mom gave it to me so I could beat it," he
said at a Central football game.
"You have to be strong. Never once did I say I was going to die.
All through this, I just kept thinking about how I was going
to play football and basketball again."
He had won his first battle against cancer and didn't lose his
drive to raise awareness.
"I was lucky. I got to share his dream and help him make it work,"
Kipp YOUNG said.
Last year,
VLACH took on a fundraising drive at the school, selling
Lance Armstrong bracelets and breast cancer bracelets.
He also helped to raise $10,000 for the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
A year ago, he received an Ernie McTavish Award given London
high school students who have overcome great odds.
He was accepted to Western's Kings University College and worked
at Camp Trillium for kids with cancer, for the summer.
But he began to feel ill. In August, he was told the cancer was
back. His diagnosis was terminal.
In September, he said he found inspiration in Terry Fox and wanted
his own life to be used to raise money for children.
"He just kept fighting -- never quit," said football coach Phil
HARRIS.
An annual award has been named for
VLACH.
The cancer campaign at the school this year was dedicated to
him. Three weeks ago,
VLACH was at the school for the last time
for an assembly.
On Friday their Carnival of Hope aims to match the $10,000 raised
last year.
