(AP) – A western Iowa cross country team is running to raise money for their coach’s son, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
The Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton team has gathered pledges for each mile they run this fall.
The proceeds will benefit their coach, Terry Weisenborn, and his family. Weisenborn’s 2-year-old son, Hayden, has been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
The fundraiser was inspired by Julie Hays, the mother of runner Savannah Hays.
Savannah Hays said she thought the fundraising effort was a good way to help the coach.
