Waukesha North Kicker Raising Money To Fight Cancer

WAUKESHA, WI -- Waukesha North High School kicker and punter Austin Peters is using his kicking stats to help raise money for childhood cancer research.

His goal for Kick-It campaign was to raise $500. He’s currently just under $600 and hopes to raise some more in the last two weeks of the campaign.

Austin's mother Tracey said that her son got the idea to do the Kick-It campaign after Jeffrey Larner - a fellow high school kicker in Georgia - decided he was going to use his own kicking stats to help fight cancer.
