UI fraternity asking public to help student with cancer

A University of Idaho fraternity is asking for the public’s help to support a UI student diagnosed with cancer.

Lambda Chi Alpha spokesperson Dylan Solly said in a news release that Alex McNaught has a life-threatening tumor in her spine that could lead to paralysis.

The fraternity is spreading the news about a Gofundme account aimed at helping McNaught cover her medical bills.

The goal is to raise $35,000, and nearly $9,000 was raised as of Thursday afternoon. Donations can be made at gofund.me/44427afb.
