Cancer Patient Hopes to Meet Panther

This is has nothing to do with yesterday's game or such, but it does involve the Panthers:

Stage 4 Cancer Patient Hopes to Meet Panther Player

Just thought I'd share this with you guys. Share it on FB if ya can.

KEEP POUNDING!

That's sad I hope the team see's this and will meet with him

[MountaineerChemist10]

Yeah seriously, I hope they can arrange for someone to at least pay him a visit. Going through Stage 4 and still being nothing but a die hard Panther fan is bad ass

This is the brother-in-law of one of my co-workers, so I was going to post this when I had a chance.  I'm glad to see that someone already did.  I'm hoping word of this will get back to the team and someone will be able to make a trip up to Salisbury to make this happen.

Fortunately, the Panthers Poundcast from youtube.com are the ones who shared this on FB so it's already being shared on the internet.

It was first shared by Spectrum. I emailed and called my PSL concierge about this as soon as I saw it on Thursday

she took it to the Panthers Community Relations dept and said they had just heard about it and we're going to try and do something for him.  she did share that sadly the Panthers get many of these types of requests and typically they do not do player visits during the season

i have seen  many of these types of stories, I am not sure why this one moved me to call the Panthers about it

 Maybe it is because despite all he has been through, he still has the simple joy with  the game of football and the innocent love of a pro team.

we all had that love once before we all became experts and jaded by the lives of the players and the NFL big business spin

i really hope someone can give him this gift

that sucks. this is the first i'd seen this thread so i didn't notice that it was an older one. your response kind of took me by surprise.

not sure if it would help, but let your coworker know that there were people here thinking about them.

My guess is there's more money to be made "searching" for a cure than actually having one.   Don't underestimate the greed of drug companies and so called non-profit organizations.
