Manuel Diotte ( The Ferrari Kid)
Manny was seven years old when the doctors first cut him open, but little did he know he would have surgery at least once a year - sometimes more - for the next several years of his life. After 59 operations, 3 & 1/2 years in and out of hospitals, two years of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, heās blessed to beat the tough odds against him. The result left scars both inside and out, and like so many other kids, much pain.
In 1987, Manny went to Beverly Hills in California to see Dr. Timothy Miller, Michael Jacksonās plastic surgeon, which was paid for by the Air Force due to his fatherās 23 years of service. When he arrived at the Los Angeles International Airport, he saw a Ferrari 328, and asked the owner if I could take a picture next to the car, which forever changed him. At that moment, he felt like a rock star, a real celebrity! The driver let Manny sit in it, and over 20 years later, he still has never forgotten that experience.
