Boy Playing Marathon Round Of Golf Surpasses Fundraising Goal
NORTON (CBS) – A young boy playing 100 holes of golf in honor of his friend who died after a battle with cancer blew past his initial fundraising goal.
Ryan McGuire of Foxboro teed up at Norton's MGA Links on Wednesday to play a marathon round of golf in honor of Danny Nickerson.
Nickerson died in April from a rare form of cancer. Before his death, Nickerson asked for birthday cards and received truckloads of them from around the world.
McGuire initially planned to raise $5,000 for pediatric cancer research in Nickerson's memory.
Instead, he had raised more than $29,000 by late Wednesday afternoon.
