OT: Tripp Halstead, the boy who got hit in the head by a tree branch last October

[Shermthegeneral]

Last year I remember someone posting about this boy who got hit on the head by a large branch at his daycare from a strong wind gust due to hurricane Sandy. About a month ago someone on Facebook shared a link about him and I've been following him ever since and apparently his father is from Syracuse and they are both big Cuse fans.It seems like Tripp is getting better every day. Does anyone know if the athletic department knows about this kid? I think it would be awesome if they were able to do something for them. I attached a picture of Tripp below!

YES! Great to hear. He looks a lot better from the pic.
And yes, I do know that JB and possibly some other staff met Tripp's dad at the very least. There was an article a while back.
They met at FF in Atlanta and I saw interview.
Made the dad's day!

Thanks for sharing, man.

Pretty sure I wept like a baby when I read his story.

I knew you would. All heart. Sure we're not distant cousins or similar?

Me and Shermthegeneral set em up, you knock em down.
Every time. Thanks, brother.

Powerful story, and who's better than JB?
Maybe cusetown.
But who else?
