Wow...... Talk about having to go through something horrible.

An 11-year-old boy who is living his remaining days at home after his cancer treatment stopped working is on a mission to collect racing stickers for his casket. Caleb Hammond, who was diagnosed with leukemia in February 2017, has been an avid racing fan since he was 2 years old, The Des Moines Register reported.

Stickers can be sent to Hammond at 314 North J Street, Oskaloosa, IA 52577

I live in a 3 miles from Osky and hadn't heard about this story! Sounds like they're having a benefit for him this weekend, think I'll take the 69 Camaro up and see if he feels like going for a ride. Thanks for posting this Rich.

wow what a strong kid, and all smiles

Wow.... So many people have already given stickers they cannot take anymore.

We greatly appreciate each package Caleb has received. Please do not send anymore!! This was today's shipment.. We did not expect this to take off like it has.. And it keeps circling lol!! If you want to help feel free to donate to gofundme links for us and his mother. Thank you all much!!

Looks like a local track got him on a track, in a car, fire suit and all.

My 12 year old son and I stopped by today in our 69 Camaro and offered to let him check it out or go for a ride but his Mom politely declined since they had plans tonight so I told her we'd be praying for them and hit the road. The front porch was covered with opened boxes and the unopened boxes were still on the back porch. Pretty awesome to see so much support for this brave little man.

What an awesome thing to do. And great that you brought your son, that will be something he will remember and cherish about you.

That is a wonderful gesture and a shining example for your son.

Thanks for being a great car guy.

My wife saw something on FB about this a week or so ago. She sent an email to Summit Racing Equipment with a link about the story. They replied to her that they were sending a bunch for the cause :biggthumpup:
