Children's Patient Makes Memorable 3-Point Shot During Last Minute of Basketball Game

CBS4  and The Denver Post

Garrett Karp, 18, missed his senior year football season due to his Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis. Luckily, he was able to play in a varsity basketball game against his high school's cross-town rivals, where he hit a three-point shot in the final minute of the game.

The day after the big game, Karp was at Children's preparing for a bone marrow transplant, because the first round of chemotherapy didn't totally eliminate his cancer. After the transplant, Karp might miss prom but is hoping to make graduation.

Read the full story about Karp in The Denver Post and watch the video on CBS4.
