Lemieux sends heartfelt letter to daughter of radio host with cancer
by from on (#2GKYX)
In November, 93.7 The Fan host Colin Dunlap revealed that his five-year-old daughter, Darran, had been diagnosed with leukemia after complaining of hip pain.
The family has been flooded with support since, including from one of Pittsburgh's biggest sports legends, Mario Lemieux, who sent this letter to Darran on Monday along with an autographed puck:
This came to our home today 100 percent unsolicited.

Lemieux was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 1993 while playing for the Penguins, so he knows firsthand about the toll cancer takes.
