When Ty and Erika Eigner's son Peter was diagnosed with neuroblastoma three years ago, his family learned everything they could about this rare form of cancer.

"It's devastating. There's nothing in life or in coaching or sports that prepares you for the news that your son, who's 4, has cancer," said Ty Eigner.

But after learning Peter had cancer, his family learned everything they could about beating it.  "He's been through seven rounds of chemotherapy, three different surgeries, 15 rounds of radiation, multiple other tests and things. Thankfully today, with the help of a lot of great people, he's doing wonderful," said Ty Eigner.  Peter, now 7 years old, still travels to New York every three months for treatments. He is a healthy kid who has had a chance to meet some famous athletes during his journey, including Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins.

He also inspired something else in his parents. Ty and Erika Eigner decided they wanted to start a foundation that helps families fighting similar battles. With hockey close to their hearts, they started the CHECK Foundation -- Coaches Helping Eliminate Cancer in Kids.  "As a coach I felt like the acronym fit," said Ty Eigner.

Money donated to CHECK goes to families and pediatric cancer research. Friday night's game between the Rochester Century Boys' Hockey team and the U.S. Olympic Women's team is a prime example of how the foundation gets its money, as autographed Women's Olympic hockey jerseys were set to be raffled.  Rochester Century coach Bruce Frutiger said the school is more than happy to help out. Frutiger said they are hoping to raise $1,000 for the CHECK Foundation.

"I just think it's great and it shows the kind of person Ty is. Let's join the fight and try to make a big difference," said Frutiger.  Doctors said Peter's cancer is currently "NED," which in medical terms means there is "no evidence of disease."  "There is nothing that prepares you for it, but does reinforce your strength in God and in family and people who are willing to do a lot for people they don't even know," said Ty Eigner.
