Go Huskies!

Last week I was able to work at the Husky vs. Seattle University Men's Basketball game, selling bracelets for Andrew. It was a non-conference game, so not quite the crowds as some of the other games, but I had a lot of fun hanging out with Rachel and some of Andrews friends, as well as being able to help raise money for Andrew. It was fun to chat with people as they stopped by, and we were just amazed by how generous and friendly people were. Many people had either heard Andrew on his radio interview, or read one of the articles in the Times or PI.

Even a few of the event staff stopped by, saying they remembered Andrew when he played for the Huskies over a decade ago. Each of them only had wonderful things to say about Andrew, saying they remembered what a nice kid he was. It's amazing that some of our most insignificant and simple conversations or actions can have a lifelong impact. Andrew truly is kind to every single person he comes in contact with, and I am challenged by his example on a daily basis. It is not easy for me to be kind to the grocery store cashier when I am in a rush and they are moving slowly! Something I am constantly working on...thank you Andrew for your great example.
