"Diagnosed with bone cancer when he was 13 years old, Jovan “Jovi” Caraballo has already shown his fighting spirit.The West New York boy beat his osteosarcoma after undergoing surgery that replaced his femur and knee with a metal rod. He completed six weeks of rehab at Children’s Specialized Hospital that re-taught him basic motor skills like dressing himself, getting in and out of bed and putting on socks and shoes.But now 14 years old, the cancer has returned and requires a far more aggressive treatment, his mother Alby Acevedo said.That’s where Copa Maribel — a local organization that raises money for cancer patients and their families through softball tournaments — comes in. The organization will host a breakfast fundraiser at the IHOP on Rt. 440 in Jersey City on Saturday, June 14 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. IHOP will donate a portion of the proceeds to the boy’s family.Knowing Caraballo’s love for Batman, Copa Maribel has also arranged a special appearance from his favorite super hero."
