Patrick Duva is a 29-year-old Marine veteran. He's a history buff, a terrible dancer and an ace at trivia.
He wants to be a teacher. He's a pizza connoisseur and the life of the party. He's brave, protective, bright, charming, and yes, a little stubborn.
He turned down full college scholarships to serve his country after witnessing the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, in New York firsthand as a kid.
Now, Duva is dying of cancer. Two tumors in his brain, on his pineal and pituitary glands, and a series of tumors on his spine have affected his nervous system and left him blind.
