Josh Beach gets a kick out of doing good things for others. And he gets a kick out of martial arts. He recently got a chance to do both in a big way.

Beach, a 5-year-old starting his first year of kindergarten this fall in Onalaska, raised almost $1,100 for the third annual Kids Kicking Cancer kickathon, sponsored by Fred Nicklaus’ Martial Arts America.

In all, the roughly 80 martial arts students who took part raised more than $11,000 through the event, with proceeds going to the Childrens Miracle Network, designated for Gundersen Lutheran Pediatric Oncology."
