The father looks into his son's eyes and sees himself.

They're the same eyes Lamar Sepulveda looked into 24 years ago. Brave. Strong. And 3 years old.

Eyes Sepulveda at one time thought he'd never see again.

Sepulveda's son, Nick, was diagnosed with leukemia.

So, the two walked into the cancer institute at Children's Hospital of Orange County in Orange, Calif., without enough money for treatment. Thanks to donations and the hospital's fundraising, Nick was able to get the care he needed.

Now, he stands before his father at 27. Healthy. Productive. Cured.
