My buddy Carter Edgerley was set to graduate high school today. However, his battle with Osteosarcoma prevented him from making the ceremony. So, wearing cap and gown, he graduated (with honors) at @ChildrensColo! @CBSDenver @PoudreSchools pic.twitter.com/M2gYRsdX8t
His family says they had hoped he would feel better on Saturday, enough to attend graduation. However, Carter was not able to go. His mother tells CBS4 he watched the graduation live stream and celebrated from his hospital bed.
