    Chris Rock recently came and visited with the children on the cancer floor where my niece is getting treatment. No Press, no self promotion, just pure class. These are the pictures with my niece Cassidy.

    Wow, great story. So many times it seems like they're just out for press and photo ops... this is the exact opposite. I just gained a lot of respect for the man. Hope your niece's treatment is going well...

    The first 5 links didn't work, but the last one did.

    So what was the deal here. He just randomly picked a hospital to show up at, or did he have a reason to come there - like knowing a patient?

    WOW.. He seemed down to earth on TV and things, but you can never really tell so it's nice to see that some big names really do care.. Hella nice thing for him to do.. I hope your niece does well..

    Even though he can swear a little too much for my comedic taste, I've always ranked him near the top of all time. I've always liked and respected his honest and funny view that only he can get away with. But this non-public jesture, raised my respect for him as a human even more.

    Keep fighting and get well kids. My prays go to those children and their families.

    That's awesome! Chris Rock is my favorite stand up comedian hands down (Another Brother is a close 2nd :D )

    Good luck to your niece in her treatment.

    That is great man.

    my prayers go out to Cassidy and your family along with the other children. Terrible stuff but if I had to pick one guy that could cheer me up if I was sick Chris Rock would defintely be on my short list. Great comedian and appears to be a great guy...

    Good to see stuff like that w/o a head line.
