ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr’s grandson Chad was named an honorary captain for Saturday’s game against Minnesota. The 4-year-old has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor.

The school says the Carr family is encouraging people to support pediatric brain cancer research — #ChadTough prayer brands were available Saturday at stores in Ann Arbor and online at mden.com. A $3 charge is going toward The Chad Tough Fund for pediatric brain cancer research at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital.

Chad Carr was recently diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, a type of pediatric brain tumor.
