per Guthrey:
Since 8-year-old Alexa Kirkwood of Oakdale has kicked cancer’s butt, it is quite fitting that she has been selected (through TCF Bank and Make-A-Wish Minnesota) to be the TCF Bank Kickoff Kid for the Minnesota Gophers’ Homecoming football game at TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday.
It was almost two years ago now when Alexa’s mom knew something was wrong. At the time, Alexa was almost 7.
“She has always been a healthy child,” says Amy Kirkwood, “But one night, her stomach hurt. It was strange, because she was having a sleepover and she loves sleepovers — but she wanted her friend to go home. After we brought her friend home, I thought, ‘She’ll sleep it off, she’ll be fine.’ The next day, though, she was still in pain.”
