Thanks for posting. My heart goes out to this family, and this young man in particular.

It was a great thing for our Tennessee Vols to do such a great thing for this young man. Sometimes we have to be reminded that football is just a game, and what we do and how we treat others is more important.

May God bless you, Trey!

I was at the game with the alumni association and he was present. During lunch they brought him up front and explained his story. Once they found out he had cancer and wanted to come to the game, they started looking for a way to get him in town. After a couple months of talking with people, someone very generously allowed the use of their private jet to fly him into Knoxville, and very many others donated money for food, including gift certificates to Ruths Cris. The alumni council let him go with the group and get the behind the scenes tour. He received a standing ovation and there were a lot of tears in the room. It was a very touching story and we're all praying for his recovery.

Very awesome, his father works on the same dept as me. We have been raising money and other things for Trey. I just couldn't imagine..

Stage IV pancreatic cancer at age 15. That's about as unfair as it gets. Here's to wishing the best for the kid. No child deserves such an unfair deal like this.
