#RiseUpForRob

[CUSU]

I'm sure I don't have to retell the story from this past weekend regarding Rob Edson.

I never knew him but some of my good friends from high school are athletes at OCC. They have been truly touched by him and his efforts not only as an AD but a normal everyday person.

I am just doing what I can to help spread the word of the #RiseUpForRob hashtag. Below I will post some tweets from kids and other national names that new Rob. Some kids are trying to get SU to wear a RE sticker on their helmets this weekend. If any of you have ties with the athletic department and could make this happen that would mean the world to not only these people effected but Rob himself.

If you have twitter search riseupforrob and you will see some very inspirational/heartfelt stories about peoples encounters with Rob.

EDIT: It looks like SU is on board and has contacted ESPN according to some tweets.

Great job by the OCC students. I hope we see an RE on the helmets this weekend and I hope that more is done to honor Rob's commitment to SU.
