Original Story
Collin Wehr, a 11-year-old Northbrook boy who has been battling brain cancer for the last three years, will be honored by the Northbrook community and local clergy at an interfaith prayer service next Tuesday at?St. Norbert's Parish.?
Collin's tumors "are growing at an extremely aggressive rate," according to the invitation to the service, posted on Patch by Robert Lozaro, a member of Northbrook's Community Relations Commission and friend of the Wehr family.?
The prayer service will start at?7 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 11 and will last for about 20 minutes, according to Lozaro, who has helped organize it.
At the request of Collin's family, Lozaro said the prayer service will have speeches, music and humor.?
"We don't want it to be a memorial service," Lozaro said. "This is at least an opportunity for us to give back, in our own way."
"We're helpless, there's nothing more we can do," Lozaro added.
