A Shot For Life Gauntlet 2022

Hello,

My name is Liam Taylor and for as long as I can remember I have watched as both friends and family members have been crushed by the effects of cancer. From loosing family members and friends, I have been beside so many who have lost loved ones or their own lives to this awful disease. There have been so many strong and amazing people that have been crushed by cancer. This past year, I lost one of my aunts after a long and strong battle with cancer. Seeing all my cousins mourn the loss of their mother absolutely broke my heart. I never could wish that pain on anyone and that is why is wish to not only raise money and awareness for my aunt and her family but for anyone and everyone that have felt the effects of cancer so that we may do what we can to help prevent that pain and suffering. It is so important to stand together to fight against such an awful disease, we are so much stronger than we know and I am so proud of everyone who has and still is fighting for themselves or for others. You are all truly an inspiration. This years ASFL lands on my 18th birthday and I cannot think of a better way to spend my birthday than taking time to raise awareness and play in solitude to show love and appreciation for those plagued by the effects of cancer. Instead of spending time with my family and friends, I will be playing basketball to signify the 24 struggle that patients endure through their fight with cancer. I appreciate each and everyone of you and I just wanted to say thank you for either donating or even just taking the time to read this. You are all so strong and I stand with each and everyone of you.

The A Shot For Life Gauntlet is a 24 hour marathon basketball event that is meant to be loosely symbolic of the struggle that cancer patients much endure in their fight against cancer. Since 2017, hundreds of players have put on the ASFL Gauntlet exclusive black and white jersey and gone up and down the floor with the cancer community on their back. The ASFL Gauntlet is open to all ages and skill levels with intense, moderate, casual, and beginner floors playing at once in the Starland Sportsplex.
