Idol Auction Helps Kids with Cancer

Eleven-year-old Noah Grove likes to challenge his dad to a chess match, but it's certainly not the toughest battle he's faced.

When he was four-years-old, Noah developed a red spot on his leg. He was also limping. His parents thought it was just growing pains. But soon a biopsy showed it was cancer.

Noah had months of chemotherapy and ultimately had his leg amputated. He wears prosthesis.

At first, I didn't know how to run with it. It was just like a little skip-hop," said Noah. Now he runs and much more. "I feel great for myself that I can run and jump and play and all that," said Noah.
