There are certain topics that I could write about daily if the opportunity presented itself. I love writing about my beloved Cubs probably more than I should but there’s one other topic that could rival the joy that writing about the Cubs gives me.
I don’t know what it is but writing about professional athletes pledging their support to children in need just does something for me. I’m lucky enough that I can take both topics (Cubs and athletes helping kids) and combine them into one story because members of the Chicago Cubs have always been willing to help out children in need. Whether it’s a hospital visit, a school visit, or just helping a youngster out, the Cubs have always been visible to their young fans.
Leading that charge would be Cubs first baseman, Anthony Rizzo. Most of Rizzo’s work with the youth have come in the form of visiting cancer patients at their hospital since Rizzo was a cancer survivor himself.
Recently, Rizzo let a young suburban boy know that he had his back after a horrific experience at the boy’s school.
