Cartersville Boy, 7, Will Share Story In Cancer Fundraiser

A Cartersville boy undergoing treatment for cancer will take part in the 14th annual News 95.5 & AM 750 WSB Care-a-Thon. 

Nolan Baggett, 7, will on the air for this year's event. For 37 hours on July 31 and Aug. 1, 95.5 FM and AM 750 News/Talk WSB listeners will have the opportunity to provide help for patients with cancer or a blood disorder. 

Care-A-Thon raises over $1M each year for vital research for the Aflac Cancer Center of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, which is where Nolan is receiving his treatment. 

Just weeks after his 4th birthday, Nolan's mother and father took him to play on a playground and while we were there he bumped his head. Nolan received a bruise, but his parents didn't think anything of it. 

Nolan was keeping to himself rather than playing with other kids and started feeling sick and sleeping all the time. His parents took him to the ER and a CT scan of his head revealed the child had a brain tumor. 

At 7 years old, Nolan is now receiving treatments at the Aflac Cancer Center.

Money raised from the event will help fund family support services, research and the fellowship program at the Aflac Cancer Center. To donate, visit the Aflac Cancer Center's giving page for the event.
