I ran across a facebook post (https://z-upload.facebook.com/GoTeamIMPA...8480468035) regarding a teenage boy with epilepsy (Kayden) and NIU football. Team Impact helps address the emotional trauma and social isolation experienced by children facing serious illnesses and disabilities by matching them with a college athletic team. https://www.teamimpact.org/

Kayden plays the Huskies drum at home games, as well as at the MACC and the Cure Bowl this year. Here’s an article about Team Impact sending children and their families to bowl games this year, including Kayden being at the Cure Bowl. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases...51105.html

It sounds like the players and coaches are all in with Kayden and Team Impact. What a great thing for our Huskies to be involved with!

That is awesome. Thanks for posting. Not only does this help Kaden, but I am sure it helps keep the players grounded to the fact that sometimes your personal problems are small compared to other people in the world.

Great post! Proud of the Huskies for being part of this program. Noticed Ball State participates as well. Two MAC teams out of seven teams total. Nice!

Great stuff, thanks for posting. The coaching staff and team just seemed to get it this year. What an easy team to root for. Proud fan.

Go Huskies!

Great post....thanks!

It makes you feel good when you see your university doing the right thing.

well done NIU.

Very nice
