Dear Chris, over the past seven years I've had the pleasure of watching you grow into an incredible football player. But more importantly, I've seen you grow into an amazing person. Dear Chris, I am so happy to have you as my friend. Dear Chris, ever since we were kids you have been taking care of me from being a rag buddy to Disney to the movies to walking trails. Dear Chris, I wanted to make sure I took the time to thank you for encouraging and providing me with hope. Dear Chris, in a timely and easy time for celebrities, athletes and influencers that are in the public eye to be focused on themselves, I think to view them and how they can boost their own following. You have always used your platform to focus on the most marginalized society. From the start you have naturally had a heart driven towards service. I watched you selflessly give time to those around you so that they always felt special and loved. And now you have been able to use your platform to make an even greater impact. With your hard work, dedication and your kind heart, you have affected many people's lives. From helping many teachers supply materials for their classrooms, to making a special practice for your local flowery branch high school football team. It's funny that we met through an organization named Best Buddies because we really all best buddies. You were so kind and thoughtful. You took the time to ask me about my cancer journey and you truly cared. You will never know how much this means to the millions of individuals and families you have impacted. I have watched you impact the city of Atlanta and beyond. Whether it be taking your best buddy Michael to Minigolfin Chipotle or supplying the families of the Ronald McDonald House with a night of fun and good food. People may not know what a kind person you are because you are so tough on the football field. I know you are a great friend. Thank you Chris. You being a best buddy ambassador means a lot to me as you are helping others with the same disabilities and struggles as me. Also to helping women with cancer who struggled and continue their fight just like mom day. In closing Chris, thank you for making a difference in my life. And I'll explain why. Last Tuesday, my oncologist told us that I was cancer free. Any treatment moving forward would merely be precautionary measures. You can imagine how happy we all were. Thanks for being a champion of inclusion for our buddies all over the world. Gratitude and friendship and to the Kennedy Shriver. We are also very proud of you keeping you love Madison. You all be best and best buddies. You're fun Michael. Thank you for being a very humble, caring and kind person. The one who sees the need and acts. The world is a better place because of this gentle giant. God bless. Know that you and Madison will forever be in my prayers. Mary. But the curse I just described is the same curse I knew as a kid. This is why you are being named the 2022 Atlanta Falcons Walter Payton, Man of the Year nominee. I didn't know it was my cry. It's an incredible honor. It's so touching and I don't think there's anything more personal than a letter but then hearing it in some of these voice. And all the different ways of how they actually, you know, the different events and how it meant to them. It just means the world and it's just glad that the work that we do has impact. And so look forward to continuing to do that. you
