MADDIE CASE is a 7th grader at North Scott Junior High in Elridge who is running in for the LIVE UNCOMMON Race Team.  Her 2013 efforts are about much more than just winning race (which she does a lot of - she is currently the 7th Grade Girls Iowa State Cross Country Champion) -- Maddie is running to raise awareness and funds for her Charity of Choice - Make-A-Wish.  Since January, her LIVE UNCOMMON Race Team efforts have raised over $2,000.  Her goal is $4,000 - which is the cost to grant a Wish.

Maddie's school, North Scott Junior High, announced its intention to help Maddie reach her goal.  They have posted a bigger-than-lifesize poster of Maddie in the school, which students sign when they donate $1 to Maddie's effort.  This is a ONE WEEK fundraiser which began on Monday and runs through tomorrow (Friday, April 12).
