Help for a cancer battler

SUN PRAIRIE — UW-Platteville student Bryan Heins’ testicular cancer treatments have been going well. And now that his cancer is in the monitoring phase, his family hopes to cover final medical costs and spread awareness at a Saturday benefit in Sun Prairie.

Sports memorabilia autographed by Packers legend Brett Favre will be among the items donated at a silent auction.

When Heins, 21, was diagnosed in October 2007 and forced to stop classes at Platteville, his parents knew medical costs would skyrocket. His mom, Crystal Gardner, was worried.
