After being hospitalized for migraines, award-winning 13-year-old Grace McCunn has been raising money for four years to benefit patients at Blank Children's Hospital in Des Moines. What began as a simple effort to raise funds for one toy at a lemonade stand, has now evolved into a fundraising process with various successful campaigns to raise money and collect toys, with large-scale community support. In this interview, Grace tells her story. Currently a toy drive is in effect; for information, go to the Amazing Grace Lemonade Race Facebook page. New toys and pajamas (no food or stuffed animals) can be dropped off at the Ames Country Club on Sunday December 16 from 3-5 PM or dropped off at Moormans Clothiers, Vibe Nutrition, Everts Flowers and Ames Spine & Sport.
