About Chris
Chris Lantos was born on September 29, 2000. He was a fun-loving, energetic and honest boy who did not think twice to let his opinion known about things that mattered to him. He was diagnosed with leukemia in September 2012, three weeks after starting 6th grade. During his treatment he was not able to attend school. He missed being there with his friends terribly. As he used to remind them: “Never say you hate school”.
After a few months of successful treatment his illness became untreatable. He passed away on June 12th, 2013 after heroically battling his viciously complex blood cancer for which there was no cure. Chris is forever remembered by his parents Ilona and Attila Lantos, relatives in Hungary, numerous friends in the United States and his cat Mr. Mittens.
