SERIES TIX PERFECT FIX FOR AILING SOX FAN

Teenager fighting cancer surprised with four seats for Game 2 vs. Dodgers

Eighteen-year-old Ryan Doyle of Wilbraham got the surprise of a lifetime when he found out he would be attending a World Series game in a private suite at FenwayPark.

Doyle, who was diagnosed with bone cancer last year, has been battling the disease at UMass Memorial Children’s Medical Center. Upon finishing a cycle of chemotherapy and being discharged from the hospital Tuesday, Doyle was presented with four tickets to last night’s game.

“I was pumped. I was wicked excited,” said Doyle, a lifelong Red Sox fan. He predicts the Sox will take five games to overcome the Dodgers in the Series.

Richard Walsh, president and CEO of Walsh Brothers Construction, donated the tickets after hearing about Doyle’s love for baseball. Walsh Brothers built the private suite at Fenway, complete with a sundae bar, more than 30 years ago and has used it to donate tickets to children across the state each season.

“Red Sox games from our suite, particularly playoff games, can bring incredible joy to kids with the toughest circumstances,” Walsh said. “In the most humble, humble way, we can help a boy with the fight of his life and his favorite thing on Earth, of course, is the Red Sox.”

Doyle went to the game with his two siblings and his mother, Diana Doyle, who told the Herald she was “ecstatic.”

“It feels really good. We’ve been through a lot in the last year and a half, him (Ryan) more than anybody,” said Ryan’s mom. “He is the strongest kid you’ll ever meet and he’s just a good kid.”

Doyle was diagnosed with bone cancer after a tumor was discovered on his left femur. He endured several

rounds of chemotherapy and a leg amputation. Doctors then discovered the cancer had spread to his lungs and he began more cycles of chemotherapy.

“Hopefully I’m close to the end here,” said the teen, who has two more chemotherapy cycles left in his treatment.

“I just kind of look at it with a positive attitude because there’s no reason to feel mad about it or sad about it. You just have to keep doing what you have to do,” he said.

“We’re going to just keep fighting this until it gets better,” said his mom.
