Organization raising money to send Concord teen battling leukemia on dream trip

CONCORD, N.C. — While many teens his age are making videos for TikTok and social media, 13-year-old David Buckland of Concord created a video to submit to Campaign One At A Time, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing joy and support to children who are fighting life-threatening illnesses.

Last year, Buckland was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He’s been in and out of the hospital battling the disease ever since.

Buckland was chosen for the campaign, which, among other things, will raise money for him to take a dream trip to Florida with his family. But just before the campaign was set to begin last month, Buckland got sick and was admitted to intensive care with a liver condition caused by his chemotherapy. He’s been on a ventilator since Jan. 29.

In the video at the top of this page, Channel 9′s Hannah Goetz talks to a representative from the nonprofit to learn how the community can help Buckland’s dream come true.
