Dozens of youngsters braved the rain this morning to take part in the punt pass and kick competition at Gannon University.
But 9-year old Corry native Brandon Arnick didn't mind the weather one bit. He was just happy to be outside.
Arnick spent much of this past week at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, after he was diagnosed with Type One Diabetes.
Brandon gets six shots of insulin every day and tests his blood sugar up to ten times a day.
But that didn't stop him from taking the field.
In the kicking portion of the contest, Brandon booted the ball 44 feet. Congrats to him.
