This week I participated in one of my favorite events of the year — Camp Reach for the Stars. It’s a camp for families who have dealt with pediatric cancer, funded by Jack’s Helping Hand.

Jack’s Helping Hand is really great organization in our community. Recently their work with the family of Cal Poly football assistant coach Aristotle Thompson’s family caught national attention. 

This week, I was fortunate enough to catch up with Coach Thompson and talk about his experience. The Thompson family’s story is compelling. I hope you enjoy the conversation. We even talked a little Cal Poly football at the end.
