Donations Continue to Come in for Utica Family

Justin, 12, fights a rare form of brain cancer at St. Jude's Children's Hospital, far away from home.

In many ways, Justin is your average 12-year-old living in Utica: he loves the Detroit Tigers, singing and playing guitar, playing baseball and video games, and spending time with friends and family. 

An online campaign to benefit Justin's friends and family as they fight a rare form of brain cancer has raised $13,713 in one month. These funds help medical and travel expenses the family has to endure as Justin seeks treatment in Memphis at St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
