0:00.0 | This is an IHeart podcast. |
0:08.1 | Welcome to Aaron Menke's Cabinet of Curiosity's, A production of IHeart Radio and grim and mild. |
0:16.8 | Our world is full of the unexplainable. |
0:20.6 | And if history is an open book, all of these |
0:23.3 | amazing tales are right there on display, just waiting for us to explore. Welcome to the |
0:31.5 | Cabinet of Curiosity's. Terry was one of those kids who just wouldn't quit. |

1:45.2 | therapy. He kept his spirits high, joking with nurses, and comforting other patients around him. |
1:51.7 | But inwardly, he grew frustrated. Terry was deeply affected by the young children he met in the |
1:57.2 | cancer ward, many of whom had terminal diagnoses. And as he learned more about the |
