A couple of months ago, I got to live out a dream and travel to England to play soccer and tour Manchester United.
When I finished the stadium tour, I picked out a custom jersey for myself. But then I told my mom I wanted to get one more made.
I wanted to make one for Chris.
A lot of people helped me get to England, and I am thankful for every single person and business that supported me. Every lemonade, every raffle ticket, every donation, every share, and every word of encouragement helped make that trip possible.
But Chris was the person who helped make a way for it all to happen.
So I had a jersey made with my name and number on the back because I told my mom, “When I go pro someday, I want Chris to be the first person to have my jersey.”
Maybe one day that dream will come true, maybe it won’t. But what will always be true is that I’ll never forget the people who believed in me before I got there.
Thank you, Chris, for believing in me, supporting me, and helping me chase a dream. I’ll always be grateful.
