@eshecker I used to just go.

So @Dbacks, I would like to think that in early May '24, there will be another #BrainTumorAwarenessNight. Please, could I have the opportunity to throw out the first pitch? Below photo from 2018 @IvyBrainTumCtr @darrenrovell. Let's make this happen. #TheBergandtheBurb

Ask me why I fight I have been accepted as part of the NYU-Langone IBD Center Patient Advisory Committee. For those who suffer with IBD your fight is now my fight and it’s personal! This is why #RippinForTheCure is important to me! @eshecker

Last night was wild! Thank you to @BuckCityBreaks for hosting our annual #RippinForTheCure break night event that also helps promote #MinutemanMadness, and thank you to @MinutemanScotty for pouring his heart and soul in to this. At the end of the night a $5,000+ donation was made in support of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation, thank you. But this is so much more than the dollars raised, it is time for others to take note of the impact that can be made through the hobby. This was all possible because of individuals, people who simply like collecting sports cards and memorabilia, but also want to help a great mission. Last night was a look, in to what I think is a very bright future for how the hobby can operate. Working together in partnership and collaboration allows these opportunities to happen, and there really should be more of this created. Knowing that this could be done, and seeing it done year over year gives me hope. It is time that we put all of our industry partners, hobby partners, breakers, collectors, campers, and climbers on notice so that the stories we are sharing are ones of impact, not ones of destruction. So thank you, thank you to all of you that are already a part of this impactful moment in the hobby. Invite someone to join you so they can become a part of something that is bigger than all of us.
