Kids fight pain

Here's another news article that you really should read - moving to say the least!

Story:
When the sharp stabs and dull aches of his sickle-cell anemia become unbearable, 15-year-old Terrell Harrison remembers what Rabbi Elimelech Goldberg told him, and his suffering eases.

Goldberg is the founder and director of Kids Kicking Cancer, a Detroit organization that helps children ages 4-17 overcome the pain of cancer, sickle-cell anemia and other serious diseases.

The group offers weekly classes using martial arts, breathing techniques, visualization and meditation to help youngsters gain a greater sense of control over their minds and bodies.

Martial arts involve more than kicking and punching, said Richard Plowden, chief martial artist for Kids Kicking Cancer.
