February 24, 2011-Shear the Beard419 viewsAaron Smith with his friend and teammate, Brett Keisel.
The event raised around $30,000 for Children’s Hospital cancer programs, a charity Keisel choose after watching what teammate and close friend Aaron Smith has gone through with his son Elijah, who was diagnosed with leukemia two years ago, and the great treatment he received at Children’s Hospital.
“I look at Aaron as a big brother,” said Keisel. “He is family to me. I wouldn’t be here without him. To be able to help out Children’s Hospital who has done so much for Aaron’s family was a simple decision for me.”
And the gesture meant a lot to Smith.
“It means a lot to me,” said Smith. “The friendship we formed and relationship we have, him seeing me go through what I have gone through. For him to take his time to do an event like this is a huge compliment, huge honor.
“In my mind there is a not a better place than this Children’s Hospital. You make a difference with everything you do for the place. It’s good to see the craziness that came out of the beard turn around and be used for something good.”
