This weekend, NBC 5 is teaming up with Baseball Nation and the Children's Tumor Foundation and putting on a Youth Baseball Tournament.
It's called End NF.
Proceeds will benefit the Children's Tumor Foundation and help cure neurofibromatosis (NF), a condition that prevents the body from stopping the growth of tumors.
Kaleb Griggs will be among the players in this weekends tournament. He was diagnosed with NF at the age of 10 months.
The diagnosis came after battling a broken leg due to a bowed tibia. Griggs had two surgeries to put in plates, which would make his bones grow straight.
After he healed from that, doctors found a tumor on his brain stem.
Griggs endured 15 months of chemotherapy, but through it all he continued to play baseball.
