NFL prospect Aaron Curry visits St. Jude; invites patient for once-in-a-lifetime experience
"Wake Forest University senior linebacker Aaron Curry will soon experience something about which many young men can only dream. On April 25, 2009, he will hear his name called by National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell as one NFL team selects him as their top draft choice for 2009.
As the winner of the 2008 Butkus Award, Curry is the top college linebacker in the nation and enters the NFL Draft as one of the highest-rated players. As such, he will be one of a few select college players invited to Radio City Music Hall in New York City to walk across the stage and shake Goodell’s hand once his name is called. It is the culmination of a lifelong dream.
But on a day that so many kids dream of happening, where the discussion should be all about him and the work he has put in to reach this pinnacle of success, Curry wants to share the spotlight with another. He wants to give someone else the opportunity to enjoy the experience of a lifetime.
That someone is 12-year-old Bryson, a patient of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
In an unprecedented gesture, Curry invited Bryson to join him in New York City and sit at his table in the green room for what is expected to be the short wait before Curry’s name is called."
