Chris and Beth stayed at the Neely House, a living facility at the hospital for patients and their families for nearly 5 months while receiving treatment. Chris had a
positive impact on everyone he met. Gene Caputo, a supervisor at ESPN said, "We all love Chris and found him to be the utmost professional and a truly gifted man." He was also an inspiration to the medical team that worked with him. Valarie Marsoobian RN at Tufts Medical Center said, "I am grateful to have participated in his care.
