Despite the rain Sunday morning, the lemonade flowed outside Elmdale Church of the Nazarene in unincorporated Alto. Working the bar was 9-year-old Wyatt Fuss.

The money the Clarksville boy makes from his lemonade stand goes to pediatric cancer research.

It’s research that’s vitally important to Wyatt. He has been battling a spinal cord tumor since he was 15 months old.

“Sometimes I’ll feel fine and then another day I’ll feel bad and it switches around,” Wyatt described. “Sometimes my pain will be in my foot, and then it’ll shoot up to my neck and it’ll move all around.”

The partnership is paying off.
