The aggressive cancer was classified as phase 4 and Mario has a survival rate of 20 percent past the age of five.
After his diagnosis, Mario'& #x 27; s moms and dads made the tough choice to stop their jobs and move Mario and his 2-year-old sis across the country from Lindsay, California to Boston, Massachusetts to seek treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
