CHAFFEE COUNTY, Colo. — At just 7 years old, Martin Kisel's life changed when he was diagnosed with leukemia.
"One day she came into my room, and she had a box that was wrapped up in gift wrap. She said, 'Martin, from here on out, every time you go to the hospital, you be brave. I'm going to reward you with a toy for your bravery,'" Kisel recalled."I still knew the hospital was going to hurt. I was still scared, but at 7 years old, you're offering me a toy. I mean, I pretty much put up with anything. It put my mind at ease.
He said he wanted to create his own fundraiser to raise money for his mom's organization. He and his best friend, Steve Jackson, created Climb for the Kids a few years ago.
