game my late father went to was Doc's playoff no-hitter. I'm forever grateful my dad, the best Philly sports fan I knew, got to enjoy such a special moment.

I think about the pain that my late dad endured when he had colorectal cancer. For Chadwick Boseman to go on and try to lift the spirits of children while he was sick himself. That’s special. That’s what superheroes do.
#ChadwickForever
We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our friend Chadwick Boseman. Two years ago, Chadwick visited the St. Jude campus and brought with him not only toys for our patients but also joy, courage and inspiration. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.

He passed a few years after this post. I miss him all the time but I’m grateful that we were able to share these moments cheering for (and of course complaining about) our favorite team. Go Sixers!
