I
am a new resident of Columbus, yet I have been an OSU fan for many
years. I have always respected Chris, yet living so far away I was
not always able to realize just what an incredible man he really is.
This past summer, I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. OSU's James
Hospital was simply amazing. Unfortunately, I was unable to afford
the expensive treatments, and my insurance only covered so much. It
was not until after several months of treatment that I learned that
the Spielman Foundation was helping pay for my treatments. Now, I
am 100% cancer free, praise God! I am also in a management position
at a local Wal-Mart, and I help promote our charity efforts to the
Childrens Hospital in Columbus, OH. Through a mutual friend, Chris
recently agreed to donate an autographed OSU helmet that we will be
raffling off for the hospital. Chris has faced so many obstacles in
his life, yet he is such an inspiration. Of all the websites on the
internet about Chris, this is by far the best I have seen so far.
Thank you for your tribute to such a fine gentleman! God Bless!
