Taking A Stand: IsaacStrong

Posted: Updated:
SPENCER COUNTY, IN (WFIE) -

Sometimes going to Facebook can be discouraging. A lot of nastiness, negativity, hateful comments, and sometimes its aimed at this community.

But, check this out: On Monday, we put of a post on our Facebook  page about a young man in Spencer County who is fighting Leukemia.   

It's a great picture, and we only asked you LIKE the post to give Isaac some encouragement.

His uncle asked us to post it, just to give him a smile.   

Right now, that post has close to a million likes and it has gone viral around the world. 

His page has gone from 1,000 to 62,000 likes in less than a week. That's over 10,000 more than 14 News currently has!

When the people of the Tri-State show genuine kindness like this, it makes me proud to be a part of this community.  Thanks for restoring my faith in humanity... and cheering up my Facebook page.

That's my stand what's yours?
