The Inspirational Story of a Young Suns Fan's Battle With Cancer

Once Mike Ornoski made up his mind, he knew there was no turning back.

In April of 2012, Ornoski won the 4th Annual “St. Joseph’s Bounce With the Suns” competition. Amazingly, Ornoski dribbled a basketball for a grueling 53 hours and 45 minutes. He outlasted 58 competitors to claim the title, in a contest that began at 9 a.m. on Sunday morning of April 1, 2012 and didn’t end until Tuesday, April 3, 2012. For his efforts, Ornoski received a road trip for two with the Suns during the 2012-13 season that he took his son, Jared, on.
