To help cope with his own surgery for bladder exstrophy, he (with a little help from his mom Leah Hullinger) recently raised more than $20,000 for Allimena, a young girl in Uganda with bladder exstrophy who also needs surgery. One of his contributors was Brooklyn, another young bladder exstrophy patient who raised more than $1,600 through her online bake sale.
