Cal Poly RB coach Aristotle Thompson’s 6 year son Bryson his battling Epilepsy. He and his older brother Brock wanted to give back to Jack’s Helping Hand for the help they gave Bryson in getting a epilepsy helmet. Jack’s Helping Hand is an organization in San Luis Obispo that helps families with children with cancer and special needs. Bryson and Brock formed Helmets for Helmets were they asked NFL and NBA players to sign memorabilia that they plan to donate to an on line auction to help fund Jack’s Helping Hand. Bryson and Brock are the grandsons of former All-Pro OL Stan Brock. They appeared on the view with Whoopi Goldberg to tell their story and Kobe Bryant came on stage and personally delivered a sign jersey. Awesome story about a brave young boy and what he and his brother are doing to pay it forward.

If someone could post the above YouTube video of the Thompson family’s appearance on the View I would appreciate it. I am having trouble.

Awesome story of a brave young man and his family.

Fixed the video, great story slostang. You see things like this and it allows you to reset what you should value and be upset about.
