KWTX News Car Show
 Two very scary illnesses brought these model cars and model students and their families together Sunday at Harmony Science Academy Waco for a pair of kids in need. 6-year-old Ernesta was diagnosed leukemia. He needs a bone marrow transplant to survive. "It is very hard. We try to stay strong most of the time," says Ernesta's mom. Eleven-year-old Brianna had a stroke on Labor Day when helping her family in the yard. "She was in the hospital for about 23 days. She was in the coma for a week and half," states Brianna's mom.
Both students are fairly new to the school. A small academic community stepping in to help their own by raising money through a bake sale, car show and celebrity autographs from stars like former Dallas Cowboy Burt Lawless. "I have got a 16 year-old-son. So, he had a lot of sympathy and empatyh for these kids. When you know a person's child hurt, you are also hurt," says Lawless.
