I've lost a friend, that I have never met...

It was just announced that the Elijah Alexander, Founder of Tackle Cancer Foundation, former NFL football player, father, husband and MM patient has moved on from this world. I am fighting back tears for his family's loss. Here's an article on his passing.

Elijah went the extra mile to track me down once he learned about my battle with Multiple Myeloma. I am lost for words. I feel like I have lost a friend that I have yet to meet. I cannot imagine how his family and friends are taking the news. Thoughts and prayers coming from the UMHS Cancer Center this morning.
