Please pray for our newest B+ Hero, Ethan Williams. Ethan is an 8 year old at A.I duPont Hospital battling a brain stem tumor. Sadly, the oncologist told the family this week that Ethan has 1-2 months to live. As I’ve said a million times, only God knows how much time Ethan will be with us here in this imperfect world. Please take a minute to visit Ethan’s website and leave a nice note. I know what many of you are thinking…’what am I going to say to a family at a time like this?’ Just let them know that you have them in your prayers and that will mean a lot to them. To know that ‘friends they haven’t met yet’ are thinking of them and their brave little boy will warm their hearts at this horrificly scary and painful time.

Kudos to Michael Baron for organizing a 12 hour SoccerThon at Wm Penn Charter School in Philadelphia with The B+ Foundation as the beneficiary. Michael is a friend and former teammate of Andrew’s and is really carrying the torch for the B+ message. Thank you also to Michael Goldman, the Penn Charter Coach, and all of the families and players that turned out last Saturday. I hope to see you every year at the SoccerThon!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of being an honorary member of the Concord Dynamo travel soccer team. The Dynamo start every game with the cheer “Let’s Go Dynamo…Live Like Andrew!”. I’ve got to tell you, I had chills being in the huddle as they shouted this cheer. They were LOUD…I know Andrew heard them!!! Thank you very much to all the boys, the families, the Coaches…and especially Coach Bill Lynch for helping to teach these young men life skills first and soccer skills second. “Let’s Go Dynamo…Live Like Andrew!”
