Elmwood teen receives access to Illinois' inner sanctum
January 5, 2011 6:51 AM
Diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in December, the 16-year-old Reicheneker and his family planned to sit in the seats bought by his parents, Scott and Dianna. Those tickets were in row 20 in Section C.
After the Illini coaching staff learned of Reicheneker's plans, the tickets were upgraded, and the family moved courtside. Reicheneker met briefly with the team, then spoke with Weber prior to the game.
"He told me that life has speed bumps, and we all have to get over them," Reicheneker said. "I can make it through this tough time."
