In the summer of 2018, my little sister was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The events that followed were unlike any that I have ever experienced. My family would be tested in the harshest of ways. Cancer has a way of making anyone and everyone feel helpless. While this pain has been hard to endure, I am excited about the impact that it has had on our family, our community, and especially Karly. The last thing we want to happen is for this impact to end the day that Chemo ends. This will be a lifelong contribution to Karly’s testimony, but also we want to use this experience to motivate our friends, our families, and our community to continue to help those that haven’t quite conquered the battle that is Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. It was this train of though that lead to “Pigskin for Hodgkin’s”, a charity flag football game to raise money for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and the families that it effects. If you know the Billips’ family, you know that football is near and dear to our heart, so we are excited to be able to use that passion for a greater purpose. Pigskin for Hodgkin’s will be a game played at R.L Billings Stadium on March 25, 2023 featuring former High School Athletes, College Athletes, and anyone else that is willing to take the field. There will be two teams that will take the field that day. Admission will be a minimum $1 donation at the gate. We look forward to seeing everyone out there and are excited at the potential this event has.
