Baseball star who donated to Rising Sun boy wins World Series

(TORONTO) – The Los Angeles Dodgers have just won the World Series!

Did you know one of their superstar players gave back to a Rising Sun family earlier this year?

Rising Sun first grader Weston James was diagnosed with Gullian-Barre’ Syndrome, which is a condition that attacks the nervous system. 

It’s the same disease that affected Freddie Freeman’s son, Maximus, in 2024.

A friend of The 812 shared Weston’s story with Chelsea Freeman, who is Freddie's wife.  

The Freeman’s donated $500 to support Weston during his journey and never asked for any notoriety or attention.
