A 13-year-old Windsor boy who fought cancer twice and won has succumbed to the disease.
Kaleb Houle was first diagnosed with stage four non-hodgkins lymphoma back in 2014 — but the cancer returned a third time this year.
The community rallied around the Eastwood Public School student, holding a fundraiser to help the family pay for treatments and other expenses in April 2017.
Another fundraiser was underway on Facebook that had already raised more than $35,000.
After spending more than a month in the hospital, Houle was rushed to the intensive care unit Friday night, according
He passed away just after midnight Saturday morning.
