It doesn't seem as though the family is in need of financial assistance. If you want to show support for Sid, the family has a preference.

The entire family, they said, has a new perspective. They heaped praise on the staff at Children's and said helping to raise money for the Birmingham hospital and itspediatric cancer program is quickly becoming the family's mission. "I told them I was going to raise $250,000 so now I've got to do it somehow,'' Lynn said with a laugh. "I'm passionate about raising that for them."

Friends have set up Strike Out Pediatric Cancer, an online fund drive that allows people to pledge a donation for every strikeout thrown by a Mountain Brook High School pitcher this season on the freshman, junior varsity and varsity baseball teams. Already more than $7,000 has been pledged.
