A Muscatine couple are camping out in front of a Walmart for the sixth year in a row.

Don and Debbie Reinier are collecting money for their Camping for the Kids und drive, which will help kids with cancer at the University of Iowa Children's Hospital.

The Reiniers host Camping for the Kids in honor of their son Ben, who died at age ten in 2003.

They said helping other kids with cancer, makes them feel closer to him.

"Raising money for other kids is a huge coping tool for us.  Our community blessed us with help when we needed it the most for Ben, and this is a way we can pay it forward to help other kids," said mom Debbie.

Tomorrow's the last day the Reinier's will be out braving the cold.

They'll be at the Muscatine Walmart from 10 am to 3pm.
