17-year-old Noah Coram, a senior at Summit Christian High School, received devastating news last December.
Not only was the teen diagnosed with cancer, but it was NUT Midline Carcinoma, one of the rarest cancers in the world, with only roughly 100 cases diagnosed in the world.
Coram was given 3-6 months to live but has found a profound backing of support while he fights the disease, which included a fundraiser in Lees Summit Saturday night.
There's also a GoFundMe page set up to help pay his medical bills.
