per Wald:

University of Minnesota football player Casey O’Brien celebrated his 21st birthday on Tuesday.

That’s exactly what O’Brien wants to be known as moving forward, a football player. He’s now a five-time cancer survivor after doctors noticed a spot on one of his lungs at a routine scan during the 2019 football season. He had the spot surgically removed, and was healthy the rest of the season.

To see Casey O'Brien on the playing field in a game for the first time, I have to say I was overcome with emotions. He is the living symbol of "Row The Boat Culture".

Happy Birthday Casey!

Staring at the picture with dust in my eyes I then noticed (re-noticed) the wristbands. Some of them not here with their families anymore. Just thankful to have what I have. Thank you Casey for putting things in perspective for me. Happy Birthday.
