Kind of appropriate for your site. <br /><br />The 14 year old boy (who's parents started the fund) wrote a fantasy story about a squire on a quest to find the Four Diamonds to prove his knighthood. <br /><br />He sought to find the diamond of honesty, the diamond of strength, the diamond of wisdom, and the diamond of courage. <br /><br />The author succumbed to his cancer, but wrote the story while he was battling it.
