Many people, groups and organizations have been following health updates from long time teacher, coach and baseball hall of famer Gerry Falk in 2010. Falk was diagnosed with cancer, and tells us why he thinks a positive attitude is so important.



He says sending out mass e-mails to update more than 250 people on his battle with cancer has been extremely beneficial, and is appreciates all of the support.



Falk adds during the holidays it all comes back to how important family and friends are, and how they can relate to the true spirit of Christmas.

Falk says if you compare his fight with cancer to a ball game he is on third, noting he has a few chemo treatments remaining and hopefully 1 more surgery before he's "home free".
