St. Viator out in Full force

In the game of life, Dylan Full has had few calls go against him.

But now he's got some teammates helping him turn the tide.

Full, an 8-year-old boy from Wheaton, is getting a big assist from the St. Viator boys lacrosse team. The Lions symbolically made Full a team member on Friday at Forest View Education Center, where the Lions were in action against Marian Catholic.

Two years ago, Full was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumor.

A tough treatment regimen that included six weeks of daily radiation treatments to his brain and spine, followed by nine more in-patient cycles of radiation, are over. Full is doing well but continues to face post-cancer challenges. But he'll have plenty of support moving forward.

In addition to gaining a new batch of rugged friends from St. Viator, Full also took ownership of a few objects that may come in handy for him in his fight - a helmet, lacrosse stick and Lions team jersey.
