Frankfort Black Belt Academy believes in fighting for causes. The organization wants to kick away cancer from kids.
For the seventh year in a row, the academy sponsored a St. Baldrick’s event, this time to help three local youngsters living with the disease.
One of them was 12-year-old Mason Earley from Wilmington.
“I was diagnosed with a brain tumor when I was 7,” Earley said. “I was trying to pick up my legos and I couldn’t see them well. We went to four ophthalmologists before UIC found the tumor.”
