A nine year old boy in the city is being held up as the poster child of fundraising for disaster relief. Alex Atwill didn't want presents for his birthday, instead he asked for donations for flood victims. His mother, Monica Atwill, is proud of her son's generosity, but says she is not surprised because he often shares with other. Former Mayor Lynn Peterson hopes others in the city are inspired to fund raise by the example.
