Tomorrow’s game day is bigger than buckets! It’s our annual Shoes for Hope Game! Thank you @shoes4hopeproject for letting us work with you and the kids again! My shoes were painted by Xander Allen.

Here is a little bit about my buddy Xander Allen. He is 14 years old and is currently in treatment. Xander loves Beyblades, Pokémon, Minecraft, Legos, Spider-Man, and dogs. Xander designed his shoes in memory of his dog Russell who passed away in the fall. The shoes are black with a red harness. There is a strip of white down the tongue for the white patch Russell had on his chest. The bottom edge of the shoes are a golden brown like Russell’s eyes and the Nike symbols are gold for the halo he now wears. 

Thank you Xander for my shoes🔥! After the staff and I wear our shoes for the game they will be auctioned off. All proceeds go to Pediatric Oncology Division at UVA Health Children’s.
 
Tomorrow is an Orange Out as well! So yes I will be wearing red shoes with an orange top! I’ll mismatch any day to support Xander and the kids!! #ItsBiggerThanBuckets❤️🧡
