GETTING HUNGRY
Mark Herzlich will play his last game as a college football player tonight, as the Boston College Eagles take on Nevada in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.
Mark took time out of his pregame preparation and visited University of California-San Francisco’s Children’s Hospital on Thursday to visit Matt, a 20-year-old with Ewing’s sarcoma.
“[Matt] is, unfortunately, not doing as well in his treatment as I did,’’ Herzlich told the crowd at the St. Francis Hotel for the kickoff luncheon for the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. “He’s nearing the end. He’s holding on to see our game on Sunday night. We included him in our team prayer. Please include him in your prayers.’’
Mark Herzlich takes the field tonight not only as a cancer survivor but as one hell of a football player. His story has touched many lives and will continue to do so through the $200,000 he has raised for cancer research.
Mark. Enjoy tonight. Play with the heart, passion and love for the game of football that you always do. It was a pleasure watching you make your triumphant return to the field and we wish you the greatest success in the future.
One last time. Stay Up!
