In recent days, Southborough has lost two notable residents to cancer (library director Paula Polk on 10/26 and firefighter Pat Hanley on 10/27). Today comes a story of one who is winning his battle against the disease: five-year-old Gabrielius Bazikas.

His parents Vytas and Renata told their story to Julia Spitz of the Metrowest Daily News. You can read the artilce here and can find more details on the Spitz Bits blog.
