I recently had the opportunity to attend the MN Viking Crucial Catch reception and football game. Crucial Catch is a partnership between the NFL and the American Cancer Society to celebrate cancer survivors (which I hope to continue being) and to encourage people to get their cancer screenings.

A young University of MN football player and four time cancer survivor attended the same events. I now have a new role model. Here is his very inspirational story. Enjoy!

I too saw this on ESPNs College Game Day. Very touching and inspirational to a fellow cancer survivor.
