(KMZA)--Support from fans, parents, and students from local area schools is being shown for a student athlete battling cancer.
Danny Childress, a senior at Nemaha Central High School and a member of the school's football team, has gained strong support for both his plays and stats on the field, but is now seeing support in another way, as a shirt and wristband fundraiser is underway.
According to Jake Spalding, of the MSC Radio Network, local schools are reportedly purchasing shirts for their teams to wear for warmups on October 24 to show they're "All In for #61," the number Childress wears on the field.
The deadline to contribute is Friday.
Childress was scheduled for surgery Thursday in Memphis, Tennessee.
