A candlelight vigil will be held for Kaden Allerding at 8:30 p.m. Thursday in the Galion Middle School parking lot. Kaden is the son of Galion Middle School Principal Jennifer Allerding.

Kaden was recently diagnosed with cancer and underwent a surgical procedure to remove a tumor. Kaden will turn two in July.

In case of rain, the vigil will be moved into the Galion High School gymnasium. Please bring a candle and help spread the word to show the Allerding family the love and support of Galion.
