Just days before their departure, the team discovered that their $40,000 fund had vanished, along with their coach. “These kids, nine and 10-year-old kids, for the last two-and-a-half years have done hundreds of bottle drives and sold thousands of boxes of World’s Finest chocolates,” said Beckham’s father Adam Scorgie. “We’ve done pub nights.

As Kabi Moulitharan reports, the community is rallying to support the young athletes.
