Essex, MO - Schools in southeast Missouri know all too well about cancer and the junior high volleyball team at Richland is coming together to help a 3rd grade student, Kyran Mitchell.

Kyran is currently in treatment for Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare type of soft tissue cancer.

Baylee Decker, JH Volleyball Coach, and the young Lady Rebels will be selling t-shirts as well as hosting a Dig for a Cure game in honor of Kyran.

The games will be held on Friday, March 12th and all proceeds from the shirts will go directly to Kyran and his family as he continues his fight.

"We will be selling the shirts through Monday, March 1st.  They are $15 each with $2 added for 2X and $3 added for 3X and 4X," stated Decker.  "Forms will be sent home with students this week."  

Checks can be made payable to Richland JH Volleyball.
