Jaxon Eilers may someday be a doctor but today he just wants to be like his friends.
As 7-year-old Jaxon watched neighborhood kids going door-to-door selling magazines and delivering Cub Scout popcorn, he wanted to do a fundraiser, too.
His parents helped turn is dream into reality. Jaxon’s Quest for a Cure, an awareness walk for Chiari malformation, was held October 10 at Noelridge Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Besides raising awareness, the event generated $3,975 for research.
