Dear Friends,

What have I gotten myself into?

I'm raising money and awareness for my local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, the UI Stead Family Children's Hospital. Seven and a half years ago the staff literally saved my son's life, and for that I will forever be grateful. 

The organizers of this event graciously agreed to give me a spot in the field in turn for helping to promote it on 1600 ESPN. But if you know me, you know that's now how I roll. I want to not only meet the $200 minimum threshold but blow past it.

Help me raise at least $1,000 and I'll show up to the tournament dressed head to toe in the sideline apparel of the school I'm representing. Which football program will that be? Let's just say I've got some friends that may or may be lending a helping hand in this pursuit.

Have I mentioned I have never touched a PS5 and haven't played EA Sports College Football since the last edition of the game was released 11 years ago?
