Last week, we introduced you guys to Iram Leon.

Iram won a marathon, regardless of being 32 and having no shot at winning. You see, he has brain cancer — an extremely rare brain cancer, that will soon leave him unable to care for his daughter or himself within the next eight years. The effects are already starting to show, including speech loss and seizures, and he has even had to teach his daughter emergency drills is something happens when they're alone together!

Not only did he win that marathon against all odds, but he also did it while pushing his daughter in a stroller!

Here's what he says about his life:

Caleb Moore is the snowmobile star who was just seriously injured at this year's Winter X Games.

We previously mentioned that he mistimed a big air backflip and brought his 450-pound snowmobile down on top of himself!

Originally, it was only thought he had a concussion until he had to be rushed to a nearby hospital for bleeding around his heart.

Sadly, things are even more serious. He is currently in critical condition after a secondary complication involving his brain.

Caleb's grandfather said that the prognosis isn't good. He said it's "almost certain" that Caleb won't recover.

That's so awful! He's only 25.

We hope he makes a miraculous recovery!

Check out the video (above) to see his violent crash at this year's Winter X Games.

This seems like something out of a comic book, but this is for real!

Kim Suozzi is a 23-year-old woman who has an aggressive brain cancer called Glioblastoma multiforme.

She was very interested in science fiction and the brain and even was considering cryopreservation even before her cancer diagnosis!

The hope is that once preserved, after years and years go by and future doctors and scientists discover a cure for cancer and learn how to reanimate frozen people, she'd be brought back!

Chicago's bank account is looking pretty nice after only 5 months!

In early August, they passed new ticketing laws for low-level possession of marijuana. We guess we should be happy that these folks aren't being arrested, but at what point do you realize that taxing legal weed would bring in way more money than punishing people?

They've issued about 400 citations and have given themselves about $98,000 dollars from citizens in the process. The idea behind it is that

Junior Seau's death, among others, sparked intense discussion on how to better protect and treat athletes with brain injuries.

His suicide was a shock to everyone, and we've all been wondering what exactly it was that drove him to do it. Depression? Brain injuries? What caused it all?

Well, it turns out that he had a degenerative brain disease, and the results of an NIH study of Seau's brain revealed

If you've ever heard of bipolar disorder, chances are you've heard of lithium. This is the most common and successful drug that combats the symptoms.

The only problem is that it has unsavory side effects.

The good news is that
