My Grandaon Jayden has always been athletic, but he recently lost his Mother, our Daughter to a Fatal Illness in April of this year.
Thank you for generously supporting Jayden 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.
Jayden began playing Football (3) years ago. He was initially hesitant, playing a Defense position ( Defensive End )... but he excelled in this position, and coaches took notice. The following year, he continued on Defense, but also got an Offensive Position ( Wide Receiver) and this where he has blossomed. Who knew he was. Natural Athlete, and leader. He was Captain of his team, and loves the comradary of Sports. His major love of Sports is Basketball, and he's excellent in that as well.
His Grandfather, Grandmother ( Former Olympian who ran with Wilma Rudolph, and attended Tennessee State), his Great Grandfather who played in the ABA ( Cleveland Pipers, and was inducted into the Basketball Hall.of Fame ) .
The fact that he adheres his teammates to their highest level, and respects them. Lastly, the unfortunate fact that he recently lost his Mother, has inspired him to play at his highest capacity.
