I am very excited to report that the US National Soccer Team Players Association (USNSTPA) has decided to partner with your Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation. This, along with the partnership with Major League Soccer, will serve to provide a platform to further extend our message and mission within the soccer community. I’ve got to believe that Andrew is proud!
Additionally, the USNSTPA has decided to honor Andrew on a memorial at the Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta, NY, a place where we visited several years ago and had a blast. (Andrew, you’ve made it to the Hall of Fame!!!) We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to J Hutcherson and everyone at USNSTPA for their kindness. Finally, please see below for a nice write-up that was posted on the USNSTPA website today.
“The United States National Soccer Team Players Association is proud to be associated with the B+ Foundation, created by the family of Andrew McDonough. Andrew was a soccer player from Delaware who turned tragedy into inspiration through his battle with Leukemia, the life he led on and off the field, and the example he continues to set for numerous people who impacted by his story.” (For the full story, please click on the link below.)

I would like to introduce you to another pretty amazing young lady; a true hero. Her name is Miranda Nolte and her CB site address is: www.caringbridge.org/visit/mirandaramnolte . The password is: taekwondo. Miranda is a 12 year old with osteosarcoma and she is being treated at AI duPont Hospital. And, the password above is not random…Miranda is a brown belt in taekwondo!!! This cancer is messing with the wrong person. Kick its butt, Miranda!!! Please stop by and give Miranda a boost. Thanks!

I know you’re with us, Pal! Please give us strength.
Live Like Andrew - make today count!
