A Shot For Life Gauntlet 2023

As a child my earliest memories involve my dads 3rd battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. I remember the appointments, the vast amounts of medicine, the sickness, the immense pain that even though I wasn’t suffering from I could still feel. Everyday my dad fought and persevered so he could continue to be with and support my family. Everyday was a constant struggle and a fear that it would be the last with him. But I am thankful to say that he won his 3rd battle and has been cancer free since. My family has also suffered immensely from Breast Cancer. I have seen numerous women in my family plagued with it’s physical and mental/emotional effects.

I know first hand what it is like to watch as those we love suffer day in and day out from a disease that takes everything it can from someone. That is why I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to speak up and raise money for this cause.

My heart and prayers go out to every family who has or is currently suffering from and battling this horrific disease.

This is for 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.

At the completion of the 4 hours, our players will receive a completion medal. Our No Brakes players are welcome to remain at the facility for as long as they want and they may step into the Black Ops Division in the role of an as-needed substitute.
