"Just think of his freckled little nose and his great big smile because that's what Alex is all about."

That's how Tracy Duve feels about her 9-year-old son, Alex Duve. Alex is living with Synovial Cell Sarcoma but his mother Tracy says Alex is a fighter. On Sunday, there was a bowling benefit held in his honor in Bridgeport.

After being rushed to the hospital about a year ago from a hard fall on a slip-and-slide, doctors found a tumor. Tracy, Alex's mother says the fall actually saved his life, because if it would of happened any other way the tumor would have killed him.

All money raised at Sunday's benefit is going to help with medical costs for Alex.
