Braxton Weidman is a popular, outgoing, and active third-grader who loves to tear it up on the baseball field. In late August, Braxton’s parents noticed their son slowing down. He wasn’t himself.

Their world was about to be turned upside down when Braxton received a brain cancer diagnosis. After two surgeries, he got an unexpected call from an Alabama sports star.
