Once a year, the Best Buddies holds the annual Audi Hyannis Port Best Buddies Challenge. This year, to kick off the fabulous event, there was a Touch Football game with Tom Brady from the New England Patriots! I thought the game was so great because not only was Tom Brady taking part in the game but so wasn't several of the Best Buddies! Joining them were other athletes from the New England Patriots, Mark Herzlich the Boston College Linebacker, and our current Miss USA, Rima Fakih. The game was wonderful and really got everyone involved and excited for the event that took place the following day. The football game was held at Harvard Stadium, which I thought was the perfect location. After the game, there was a "barbeque", but if you ask me it was more like a gormet cookout! There you could find anyone from those athletes, to celebrities like Verne Troyer or Bob Saget, to current titleholders, to the buddies, and even to my high school calculus teacher (small world)! It was so wonderful to see how excited everyone was and to meet the members of the Best Buddies Organization. I think what makes the organization so wonderful is the commitment from the staff and the dedication and heart that they have for it along with everyone else in our country. I found that it really unites everyone. I had so much fun with the buddies, was able to reconnect with a buddy I met at the "Friendship Relay" named Chris, met one of my all time Patriot players, was inspired by Mark Herzlich's story, and got to catch up with Miss USA! Thank you to everyone for making this night possible. I will never forget it!
