When Michael Friedman was just 16 years old, he was given the terrible news that he had cancer. Friedman lost his hair, lost some of his freedoms, but never lost his fight. Seven months and 14 rounds of chemotherapy later, he was celebrating his victory over cancer with friends and family, who were there with him every step of the way. Friedman’s journey is remarkably inspiring and the photo album he kept of those difficult seven months is a celebration of both physical and emotional strength. Take a look.
