As sick as this subject matter is, the story told here was excellently told and I found myself tearing up for Lisa..no girl or boy should have to go through that kind of pain. Lisa was for sure a special girl to survive what she went through and I am happy to see she is making a difference for so many people. God Speed Lisa "Your A Hero".
