Time To Join The Battle
I am at a point where want Roughing the Kicker to be a vehicle to provide what I consider valuable information to the Bulldog Nation. Not so much football related, although the closer we get to the season, my juices are starting to flow. One such instance is coming July 12th when the 6th Annual Bulldogs Battling Breast Cancer Golf Tournament(click here) takes place at the Georgia Club in Statham.
For those of you that don’t know, Chris Abbott was an offensive lineman from Douglas County who played for the Dawgs from 2002-2006. In 2003, his mom Teresa was diagnosed with breast cancer. She fought this battle and won, having been cancer free for over five years now. The Abbott’s now host the golf tournament to help women in need to get the mammograms they need for early detection and treatment.
Some of the Bulldog coaching staff as well as present and past players play in each foursome with participants. There is probably not a better chance to truly get to know the Dawgs than this.
Breast Cancer Awareness is at an all-time high, but until it is eliminated completely, we all need to fight this fight.
I hope to see you there.
Rex, I am a long time fan of yours and the Dawgs. I appreciate you helping get the word on the street for all the ladies to take care of themselves with regular check ups/mammograms. My wife (37 at the time) was diagnosed. Luckily she found it early and is now three years out.
Keep up the good word and maybe we might see you in July.
