Kirtland teen’s first pitch is a home run for hope

What really hit home was seeing his favorite nurse, Lamichael, who’d battled cancer himself, drive all the way from Cincinnati to surprise him. It’s more than a comeback story; it’s about the power of support, resilience, and the bonds that form when life throws its toughest curveballs. How do moments like this shape our own sense of community? #News #Kirtland #Guardians
