Tim Clancy 10 Named Hawkeye March of Dimes Poster Child
A Cedar Rapids boy Tim Clancy aged 10 has been selected as the first Hawkeye chapter poster child for the March of Dimes. He will appear publicly and be featured on posters to urge support for handicapped people. Tim, born premature with cerebral palsy, attends Taylor Elementary with non handicapped peers and uses crutches and braces. The Mother's March in Hawkeye runs January 6 to 12 with about 2,000 volunteers across five counties Bent on Johnson Jones and Linn. Tim's story highlights perseverance, school integration, and community fundraising efforts. He plans television appearances on January 8 on Channel 2 The Last Word and January 9 at 7:30 a.m. on Channel 9 The Morning Show.
