This one hits home for me and is quite personal. At the start of this season I decided to team up with an old partner from a few years ago. He is a real solid player, we had great chemistry, and he has a wicked lefty arm swing that was pretty much unstoppable. We played quite well through the summer then a few months ago he got news that he had testicular cancer. He had surgery shortly thereafter and all seemed well, but a blood test follow up indicated that the cancer had reemerged, and he is now undergoing chemo.
There isn't a nicer more outgoing guy I know and it is a shame that this happened, but he has taken everything in stride so well, and he has had a lot of support from his family and friends. What has helped him and those who want to support him, are these blue wristbands that say "Go Ball Out", which is a type of motto to just go hard whenever life gives you an opportunity, don't hold back and give it everything you got, and at this point that is what he is doing as he is fighting back against TC.
I know that probably none of you know him, but you all are probably aware of how costly it can be to undergo serious medical treatment in this country. It would really mean a lot to me and him as well if you could donate just a little bit, to help offset some of his medical costs so that it can be one less thing for him and his family to worry about, and as they say, every little bit helps.
