My name is Ruben and I am 3 years old. I live in Dorcester, Massachusetts, and have four brothers and sisters. My brother Danny is 7, my sister Ashley is 2, my other sister Kiara is 6, and my third sister Fiorena is 5. I am a very active boy and love to run around and play. I love all kinds of sports, but baseball and basketball are my favorites. I want to be a baseball player when I grow up!

Last year I was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia, and I go to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to get my treatments.
