Hundreds mourn at funeral of boy after brain illness MANSFIELD, Ohio (AP) About 500 people attended the funeral for a 7-year-old boy whose battle with a rare disease drew more than $1.5 million in donations for bone-marrow transplants for him and his brother at the University of Minnesota. The mourners filled First Presbyterian Church on Saturday for a funeral service for Sam Berger, the son of Jay and Vicki Berger.

He was buried in Mansfield Cemetery. Sam died Wednesday of pneumonia, a complication from his eight-month fight against adrenoleukodystrophy, or AID. The genetic disease, featured in the movie "Lorenzo's Oil," ravages the brain. His 4-year-old brother, Mitch, also has ALD but does not yet have symptoms. The Bergers' oldest son, Joe, does not have the disease.

Sam's bone-marrow transplant was performed Aug. 11 at the University of Minnesota, but came too late to stave off the disease. Doctors say Mitch should not undergo the transplant until he begins to show symptoms because the procedure is so risky. He has only a 3 percent chance of remaining healthy, Beer said. Sam's disease progressed rapidly.

At a June news conference, he and his brothers were laughing, jumping and climbing. By the end of September, Sam had lost his sight, some hearing and couldn't walk or talk. Dozens of Sam's friends and their parents attended the funeral. A cascade of white flowers and a photograph of Sam sat atop his casket. The Rev.

Dennis R. Allison said Sam will be remembered for his heroism and his love for soccer, baseball, fishing and bugs. Sam was recalled as a boy who left a lasting mark on his family, his friends and a community that tried to save him. When the hospital required $250,000 in advance for Sam's transplant and the family's insurance company refused to pay more than $75,000, the public rallied. Donations from around the state and across the country topped the $500,000 goal in just six days, and continued to pour in.

(AP) In Peru, the eldest son is groomed to become a leader, to head the family when his father dies. Juan Lazo, 39, was a second son a role he had trouble playing. "I have a sprite in me that says, Tm willing to earn that spot, I'm going to work for that he said recently. "So I always grew with the challenge of doing things better, of not settling for what I get, but for what I want to achieve." That sprite has taken Lazo down an improbable path, from a large desert city in Peru to a small community in northern Minnesota; from living under a military dictatorship to becoming a political leader.

Lazo was sworn in as mayor of Grand Rapids on Jan. 8. "It's an exciting time for me," he said, sitting in the office of his Grand Rapids printing shop. "My life has been filled with accomplishments I never dreamt would be possible. In Peru, the best you can hope for is to survive.

Here, you're doing more than survive." Lazo's pursuit of the American dream began in 1973, when he applied for an American Field Service scholarship. One day he came home to find a stack of papers on the table and his mother crying.

Lazo looked through the papers, and sure enough there were plane tickets to the United States. He arrived in Grand Rapids in the summer of 1974. "He was a very bright kid, very enterprising," recalled Mitch Smilanich, one of Lazo's two host fathers during his AFS year. Lazo met Tina Lang at a birthday party on Sept. 6, 1974.

The two dated during the school year. The day after she graduated from high school, Tina headed to Lima, Peru, to attend classes. Lazo's family had recently moved there. Juan and Tina were married on Feb. 4,1977.

The military had ruled the country since 1968, an experience that shaped Lazo's activism. In his view, the military was able to establish a dictatorship because Peruvians became too dependent on government they found it easy to let the government think for them. He thinks too many Americans are just as apathetic. "We take life for granted here," Lazo said. "We need to wake up and realize we're giving up our rights little by little by not being active, by not caring, by not being strong when we believe in something.".
