Third grader Carter Cunnius is an inspiration to classmates, teachers and his community, who are now rallying behind his effort to provide toys to kids at Phoenix Children's.
“We went to the doctor because I had a cough and they didn’t know what it was and then they found out I had cancer,” said Carter.“It felt like somebody punched me in the stomach when they came in,” said his mother, Marie Cunnius.“He was positive, I had to be positive, he was strong, I had to be strong, I have learned from this kid,” said Marie.
The toys poured in by the hundreds. For three years now, he’s rallied his community to it again and this year he’s encouraged his classmates to donate too.
