After facing a mass amount of hysteric hate and discrimination, Ryan stood for a community battling this unknown, deadly disease. He fought for his ability to attend school and eventually moved from Kokomo to attend 8th grade.
Ryan was under the care of Dr. Martin Kleiman and Dr. Elaine Cox at Riley Hospital. Known for being comforting and optimistic at Riley, Ryan lived past his original life expectancy by 5 years.
Ryan was also a friend of Elton John, who would often go to Riley and decorate his room. Ryan& #39;s mother Jeanne was also incredibly supportive at every stage of the fight. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌌" title="Milky Way" aria-label="Emoji: Milky Way">
