An annual music festival, held in honor of a young man who died to cancer, returns to Chicago to uplift others fighting their own battles.

'WeishFest' is a music festival at The Salt Shed in Chicago that honors Midlothian football star Andrew Weish, who died to colorectal cancer.

"There's no pain like it," Andrew's father, Don Weishar, said. "There's nothing I've ever experienced that can even equate. It's hard to describe." "He knew that it helped so much, and as he was passing, he wanted to make sure other families felt the same kind of love," Andrew's brother, Danny Weishar, said."Andrew stood for something, lived for something and this is kind of a culmination of a life that I think he wanted to give back," Don said.

They will host "WeishFest" Saturday night. It is their annual music festival, being held at the Salt Shed in Chicago, that aims to uplift those battling cancer.
