Tube Dude Keenan Cahill Peforms with NY Knicks Landry Fields & Andy Rautins [Video]

Keenan Cahill was diagnosed "with a rare genetic disease at the age of one called MPS Type 6 (see full description below). Keenan underwent a bone marrow transplant in 1997 to slow down the progression of the disease, which required Keenan to live in a isolation for almost one year to prevent infection. Keenan has since had multiple surgeries including a surgery to relieve pressure on his brain. Keenan has overcome all of these obstacles to finally achieve two successes. Keenan has entered High School and is currently a freshman, second Keenan has achieved International fame with his YouTube Channel."

A 2nd tragedy befell the poor 15-year-recently. He was forced to lip sync the NY Knicks anthem GO NY GO with Andy Rautins and Landry Fields.

Via Keenan's Room: "MPS VI is a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder estimated to occur once in every 340,000 live births. As a result of a deficiency of the enzyme N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B), individuals with MPS VI are unable to breakdown substances known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are found in connective tissue throughout the body. The GAGs accumulate in the lysosomes of cells, leading to multi systemic abnormalities and numerous clinical manifestations including respiratory and cardiovascular complications, gastrointestinal symptoms, joint stiffness and restricted movement, and a loss of vision and hearing. MPS VI is a progressive disease and leads to severe disability and a shortened life span in virtually all cases. There are less than 1,100 people worldwide who have the disease."

On a positive note, Keenan did get to work with the Knicks City Dancers...
