Lynchburg community comes together for athlete battling bone cancer
LYNCHBURG, Va. - A local athlete is battling cancer and the Lynchburg community wants him to know he's not alone. Luke Pierce was diagnosed with bone cancer less than a year ago. His alma mater Liberty Christian Academy is holding a fundraiser called "Force for Luke" during their homecoming event this weekend. His former coach says all the money raised will go to the Pearson Cancer Center in Lynchburg. The homecoming game and pre-festivities are open to the public.
