A local boy's dream to make a difference came true Thursday night, thanks to a game of laser tag.
Eight-year-old Xavier Legault suffers from epilepsy. But instead of complaining about his difficult disease, Xavier is trying to help others who also suffer.
On Thursday at "Laser Kraze" in Maineville, Xavier and his "Team X-Treme" hosted a laser tag fundraiser to benefit the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Cincinnati.
Xavier's mom, Sara, was thankful for all the support:
"The kids came out from all over Kings School District, Little Miami, everywhere tonight to support a really great cause that doesn't get a whole lot of showtime,” she said. “So, I guess now we're just kind of spreading the awareness for epilepsy."
Xavier's goal is to raise $5,000 through multiple fundraisers to help the Epilepsy Foundation.
If you would like to help, here's how: on October 28, the Blind Moose Restaurant in Maineville will donate 15% of every receipt to his cause. In addition, all proceeds from Mason's 5K Mini-Marathon will go to the foundation.
Anyone who would like to participate in the 5K can obtain a registration form by emailing Sara at TeamX-treme@hotmail.com. proceeds from Mason's 5K Mini-Marathon will go to the foundation.
Donations of any kind can also be made out to Team X-treme and mailed to PNC Bank, 5262 Kings Mills Road, Mason OH, 45040.
