Some of his cross-country teammates started a GoFundMe to support the Samples family. His teammates set a goal of $6,000 and they've already raised over $7,000.

They ask us to keep Caden and his family in our hearts during this difficult time. All donations will be sent to Caden's grandmother, Ellen Samples.
