A West Michigan teenager has literally beaten cancer. Fox 17 reports that Helen DeVos Children's Hospital held a special ceremony in which 17-year-old Henry Dai smashed a 3D replica of his tumor with a sledge hammer.

I love "feel-good" news.  Too often, the news we do hear is a real downer.  You know, the news anchor on TV will open with "Good Evening," and proceed to tell us why it's not.  (You're supposed to laugh here :))

The guys over at Modern Window Cleaning had a special surprise for the kids at Helen Devos Children's Hospital on Halloween.  The window washing crew dressed up in super hero costumes while they worked on washing the hospital's windows.  The idea originated from a group washing the Memphis Children's Hospital's windows.  But Modern Window Cleaning one upped the competition by doing it Halloween!
