Kent State Basketball Signs 5-year old with cancer

Malyk Foster started off his Monday morning just like any normal five-year old would.

He spent most of the day on his iPad, watching YouTube videos. His mom, Danielle, popped in his room and told him they were heading to the MAC Center where Malyk would sign his letter of intent to join the Kent State Golden Flashes basketball team.

He quickly put the tablet aside, found his white Kent State shirt and hat, and was ready for his big day on campus.

Malyk, a nervous but spunky basketball player from Kent was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in 2017.
