My cousin, Karen, died last fall after a battle with breast cancer that was nothing short of heroic. She was 54 years old and left behind her husband and four adult children. My grandfather’s struggle with cancer ended eight days after the birth of my son in 2012. These are only my family’s most recent run-ins with this awful disease, and mirror the experiences of countless others.
My dear friend and former colleague, Bo Mitchell, and his family have been run through the ringer by cancer. But as he and his lovely wife Kari have admirably shown through their efforts with the RE/MAX Results Breast Cancer Ride and the AttaBoy Ride, cancer’s not just gonna get away with it. I’m honored to have been asked to help support their efforts to continue raising money to fight cancer by participating in the first ever Breast Cancer Fantasy Football League!
This 48-team league includes four divisions, with each division featuring a local media member/fantasy football expert. I’ll be taking all comers in the End Cancer division, The Huddle’s John Tuvey will be doing his best to manhandle the Find a Cure division, Kare 11’s Dave Berggren will take your best shot in the Save 2nd Base division, and Bo himself will attempt to hold down the Beyond the Pink Ribbon division. Rather than break down the particulars in this space, here’s a link to all the who/what/when/where/why information. http://www.
Before you sign up, though, please note that there will be a live draft on Saturday, August 23rd, at Poor Richard’s Common House in Bloomington. You MUST be able to attend this live draft event in order to participate. OK, now click on the link above and sign up, because space is limited. I look forward to beating you down in our head-to-head matchup, and teaming with you to beat down breast cancer.
