Healthy U Day to Raise Money for 'Remarkable' Boy
There's an activity- and food-filled event this weekend to help a local student battling cancer.
The community will help raise money this weekend during a special entertainment-filled event for a "remarkable" sixth grader going through his second round of cancer treatments, according to resident Kelly Parrot.
"Healthy U Day — Playing for Sam" is from 1 to 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 3, and benefits Sam Thomas, who is fighting Rhabdomyosarcoma, also known as RMS.
Parrot said the event is designed as a community health fair to show Thomas "support and love," and comes after a walk-a-thon from noon to 1 p.m. to help raise money and awareness.

The event is organized by the North Hampton School 6th Grade Community Outreach Committee, and will be held on Saturday, June 10, should there be rain.
