This season, I'm proud to be supporting the Robert Connor Dawes (RCD) Foundation by donating $100 for every punt we down inside the 20-yard line.
This cause is deeply personal to me. In 2015, I lost my younger sister, Pippa, at 11 years old to childhood brain cancer (DIPG).
She continues to inspire me every day.
The RCD Foundation supports families affected by childhood brain cancer and funds critical research in both Australia and the United States. I'm honored to use football as a way to help make a difference for other families facing this battle.
If you'd like to support or hear more about the cause, you can donate through the link in my bio or visit rcdfoundation.org/s/821/963/…
Every contribution helps. Go Dukes! – at Harrisonburg, VA

Proud to see this research published in Nature and to be acknowledged as part of the global effort accelerating progress in ependymoma.
This is what collaboration looks like.
New @Nature study shows that androgens keep PFA ependymoma cells in a less‑developed, growth‑prone state—explaining why the tumor is more common in boys. Blocking this pathway slowed tumor growth in models, pointing to a possible therapeutic direction.
