Very nice article.

As the father

of a (healthy) two-year old daughter, this story really tugs at my heart. And yes, little Riley does look like her daddy.

Riley is adorable.

Ryan was on CTL this week and talked about Riley. I can’t even imagine how he tried to do his job last spring with her on his mind.

OK I don't know shit about basketball.

And I can definitely relate. My daughter was born with a heart defect and another rare condition. She was hospitalized at Children’s Memorial for about a year and a half. The doctors there did an excellent job researching the condition and saving her on multiple occasions.

It’s great that he is able to draw awareness and help fund research for Di George syndrome. I only with there was someone famous to help draw awareness for my daughter’s condition. :)
Maybe I can ask him if we can tag along? :)
