<p>Long time <strong>Texas Rangers</strong> fan Kathleen Barron knows that one week from now she may not be here but she hopes to hold on just a little bit longer to spend time with her loved ones. </p>
<p>&#8220;All kinds of fun and entertainment,&#8221; said Texas Rangers fan <strong>Kathleen Barron</strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;March of this year she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and doctors only gave her about six months to live,&#8221; said Kathleen&#8217;s son <strong>Kyle Barron</strong>.</p>
<p>And the six month mark that the entire family has been dreading is now here. Kathleen is no stranger to medical problems. She has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and she battled breast cancer several years ago.</p>
<p>&#8220;That was very tough and she always claimed that if she ever got diagnosed with cancer that she wasn&#8217;t going to do anything for it,&#8221; said Kyle Barron.</p>
<p>So now she refused chemotherapy and has decided to let nature take it&#8217;s course with the comfort and support of her family. Hospice nurses spend a lot of time at the family&#8217;s home to help everyone cope with this hard time in their life and to provide care to Kathleen. There is one thing in particular they noticed.</p>
<p><img src="http://dfwreporting.com/site/wp-content/uploads/Texas-Rangers-fan-DESCRIP2-300x168.jpg" alt="" title="Texas Rangers fan DESCRIP2" width="300" height="168" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5652" /></p>
<p>&#8220;They all know how much of a Rangers fan my mom is so they contacted the Rangers and they didn&#8217;t even contact me or tell anyone until it was confirmed and that was Friday morning,&#8221; said Kyle Barron.</p>
<p>After the Texas Rangers personnel received a letter from Mercy Hospice they decided to give Kathleen and her family a suite at the Ballpark in Arlington for free.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was a total surprise,&#8221; said Kathleen Barron. &#8220;I almost fainted.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://dfwreporting.com/site/wp-content/uploads/Texas-Rangers-fan-DESCRIP3-300x168.jpg" alt="" title="Texas Rangers fan DESCRIP3" width="300" height="168" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5653" /></p>
<p>Friends, family and hospice nurses came in town to spend the last precious moments with her at the Texas Rangers game</p>
<p>Manoj Patel, Kathleen&#8217;s physician, is the person that first came up with the idea</p>
<p>&#8220;She is a loving Rangers fan and we do know that her house is like a Rangers shrine,&#8221; said Kathleen&#8217;s physician <strong>Manoj Patel</strong>. &#8220;As a part of our care giving meetings we had decided that we wanted to do this for her.&#8221;</p>
<p>Because of Kathleen&#8217;s condition she has to stay in the suite and watch the game from the television.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m feeling tired but I&#8217;m excited,&#8221; said Kathleen Barron.</p>
<p>And although friends and family know that a sad day is near they are still embracing today knowing they are spending last precious moments with the one they love.</p>

<p>Texas Rangers pitcher C.J. Wilson watched fans throw the strikes at his second annual Strike Out Bowling Tournament. The event benefited <strong>Wilson&#8217;s Children&#8217;s Charities</strong>. </p>
<p>“It’s more about the effect we have on the community and we are able to show people that their 15 dollars or 20 bucks goes directly towards a cause,&#8221; said Texas Rangers pitcher <strong>C.J. Wilson</strong>. </p>
<p>Wilson&#8217;s cause is raising money for children with illnesses. He created his foundation in 2006 after a little boy with hemophilia had a big impact on him. That little boy&#8217;s father is the co-founder of Wilson foundation. </p>

<p>”We started this in 2006 right after he met my son and doing this with him has been an absolutely amazing experience,&#8221; said Co-Founder of C.J. Wilson&#8217;s Children&#8217;s Charities <strong>Robert Champagne</strong>. &#8220;He’s a regular guy that really just wants to help kids.&#8221; </p>
<p>Champagne appreciated the impact Wilson has on the charity. Wilson is dedicated to raising money for children and getting Ranger&#8217;s fans involved.</p>
<p>“I think it’s important to not just cut a check,&#8221; said Wilson. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s important to actually get out their and show people give people an example of what you can do with yourself and your time,&#8221; said Wilson.</p>

<p>C.J. Wilson’s charity events are mainly promoted through social media like Twitter and Facebook. Wilson says he’s always inspired by the amount of fans that make it to events like this one. </p>
<p>“I have a handicap child so anything that’s a charity or organization is wonderful and on top of that we are Texas Rangers fans so what more could you ask,&#8221; said <strong>Lisa May</strong>.</p>
<p>This is the eleventh event for Wilson&#8217;s Children&#8217;s Charities and donations continue to grow.</p>
<p>“We already pre-sold more tickets and made more money on presale than we did last year at the same event,&#8221; said Wilson.</p>
<p>Wilson says seeing a fan wearing one of his charity shirts is as rewarding as seeing a fan wearing his jersey.</p>
