Non-Hodgkins can affect anyone...even someone playing in the superbowl. Odessa High School graduate Marcus Cannon is a member of the New England Patriots team that will play Feb. 5 against the New York giants at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Cannon was diagnosed with non0hodkin's lymphoma before the 2011 NFL Draft. His friends and family are very proud stating that "For the things he was able to accomplish, and to overcome the adversity with his health, it's a credit to him and his family. It's a true measure of his faith". This goes to show anything is possible and that having non-hodgkin's lymphoma does not always have to stop you from achieving your dreams!
