A wiffleball tournament/home run derby benefit for 14-year-old Zach Netten is planned this weekend.
Woodbury resident Leah Schulte said her family has good insurance. They didn’t need any help. Her fellow youth baseball parents didn’t listen. This weekend, hundreds of people will come together for a benefit for her son, Zach Netten, who was diagnosed at the outset of the school year with Hodgkin lymphoma. “They insisted (on a benefit),” Schulte said. “We’re all kind of like family.” Zach, 14, had a persistent cough going back to last summer. He managed to continue pitching with his East Ridge Athletic Association team this summer, but three days into his freshman year at East Ridge High School, Zach’s doctors told him he has cancer. “I kind of started freaking out,” Zach said of the day his father picked him up from school. He had …

A benefit for youth-sports backer Glen Moon is set for May 19.
Woodbury resident Glen Moon has cancer. Talking to him, you’d never know it. It’s Moon’s sense of humor and positive attitude that has helped him cope since he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in September 2011. He’s undergone chemotherapy, radiation treatment and failed surgeries. “I’m at peace with it,” Moon said. “You can cry or you can laugh. I choose to laugh.” When one of Moon’s surgeries didn’t go as expected, he asked the doctor for a refund. “He laughed at that one,” he said. Moon, 50, is known in Woodbury as an ardent supporter of youth sports, and coached his three children as they made their way through local programs. “To this day, he goes to his players’ younger siblings’ games,” said friend John Wallgren. “He’s certainly…
