Thank you for generously supporting Christopher in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
Christopher loves the discipline, competition, and teamwork each sport brings. Whether it’s the endurance of cross country, the strategy of soccer, or the precision of football, he thrives on pushing himself and supporting his teammates. Most of all, he values the friendships and growth that come from working hard toward a common goal.
He’s inspired by other mentors who lead by example—those who demand excellence, show integrity, and invest in his success when he was a younger player. Their commitment to ensuring his growth, both on and off the field, motivates him to work harder. Now as a mentor himself he leads by example, and help others improve, just as others helped him.
One moment that makes me the proudest is watching over the years the overall improvement in his sports. To get to the level of mentor means you have started to master a sport. To have those under you look up to you for guidance and leadership, that is a proud moment. A moment of growth that you have put blood, sweat, and tears into.
