Summary
A ten-year-old from South Berwick, Austin Clithero, is turning heads with his non-profit Hawks for Hope—founded after his mom’s breast cancer battle. Inspired to ease the pain of chemo, he rallied fans at Marshwood games to donate comfort items like lotions, blankets, and lip balm, now stocked at Wentworth-Douglas Hospital’s cancer center. His mission? To remind patients they’re more than a diagnosis. With plans to expand to baseball and football, Austin’s next drive lands in October during breast cancer awareness month—and he’s proving that even kids can spark real change.
