Mr. Jose Sulaiman
President of the World Boxing Council 


Dear Mr. Sulaiman:

On behalf of the children, families, and staff at Childrens Hospital
 Los Angeles, I would like to thank you so much for sending us two of your
wonderful WBC Champions to visit our patients and families, Erik
 Morales and Genaro Hernandez.  These gentlemen were superb representatives of a
 sport which demonstrates how much it cares for children and families in the
community struggling with life-threatening diseases.  Erik and Genaro
 were wonderful in helping our patients with cancer and blood diseases feel
encouragement, love, and support from people who worked hard to "make
 it" in their own lives.

Thank you for making a difference in the lives of our children.  It
 would be our honor and pleasure to welcome you one day soon to visit us at
 Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, where we have the largest program in the nation
 for treating children with cancer and blood diseases.  In addition to
 treating the bodies of our young patients, the HOPE Program is focused on the
 spirits and quality of life of our kids and families.  Your kindness is part of
 the cure we provide, and we thank you.

Best wishes, Dr. Ernie Katz
