$211,246 to ChadTough (which was then matched)

Submitted by LLG on

When Chase Winovich decided to stick around, I donated a few dollars to ChadTough.  I just got the email saying this:

"Yesterday was an uplifting day!

We, along with Chase Winovich, Grant Newsome, Coach Don Brown, and Larry Prout Jr., presented a $211,246 check to C.S. Mott Children's Hospital for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Research Initiative.

The money - which will be matched by UM Regent Ron Weiser - will be put to amazing use, expanding Dr. Carl Koschmann's lab for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma-specific research.

This would not have been possible without YOU! You were inspired by the efforts of Chase, Grant, Coach Brown, Larry, Mo Hurst Jr., Josh Metellus, and Devin Bush II and made a donation to the cause.Please watch this special thank you video from Chase Winovich!"

One way to keep donating to ChadTough is to use Amazon's Smile program when shopping on that marketplace (even if - or maybe especially if - you're a Prime member). Instead of using the "www.amazon.com" URL, go to "smile.amazon.com." You can select one of the recommended charities, or choose your own. ChadTough can be found after a simple search.

You won't raise a ton of money using Amazon Smile, but if enough MGoBloggers do it, the total will add up in a hurry.

Is simply amazing. Longtime board lurker, Lifelong fan and first time poster...and most my previous interactions were with athletics. But after spending each day of the last 3 weeks in the NICU at Mott with my newborn son, words cannot say how impressed I am with what the Michigan Difference really is. Couldn’t be more proud to be around truly the leaders and best, and have my son in the care of such an exceptional community.

When you read things like this you can't help but remember that great quote from Fielding Yost: "Nowhere is there a better university, in any way, than this Michigan of ours."

...that Brady and Jim have seen and brought into "the family" (like Chase and company) is truly something to be proud of as taking the initiative in something like DIPG will impact more lives than the outcome of any single game or season. While many launch drinking threads and are seeking counseling after "8-5", seeing this easily reinforces one more time why Michigan is bigger than a game or a season that is perceived as falling short by a group of fans that I personally don't believe know how to evaluate growth, improvement and commitment when it stands before them. Thank you, Chase (and team) for your Commitment and Leadership!! GO BLUE!!! 〽️
