Dr. Robert J. Arceci, pictured here with a tiny cancer survivor at the 5th annual GCU Foundation Run to Fight Children's Cancer last March, died Monday morning from injuries he sustained in a traffic accident in Scottsdale. Arceci was a dedicated and brilliant childhood cancer researcher at Phoenix Children's Hospital and the inspiration for the "White Cell Rock," a dance that medical professionals, first responders and others learned and performed to improve the spirits of children with cancer.

Bible Verse

Now as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, He took the twelve disciples aside and said to them, "We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn Him to death and will turn Him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day He will be raised to life!" (Matthew 20:17-19)
