## Caption

Cory Wiederin, along with his two sons, 12-year-old Kellen and 7-year-old Beckett, are in the front yard of the family’s Ankeny home on a June morning playing catch.

Cory, who is in the driveway, fires a throw to Kellen, who is in the grass, a few feet away from his brother.

The three have been on a mission to play catch every single day. The plan, which started back in March, was inspired after Wiederin was diagnosed with kidney cancer. The goal is for him to get at least 20 throws to both his boys for the session to truly count.

“We don’t take any days off out there and enjoy every throw because you never know,” Wiederin said.
