MUST WATCH Feature On "The Dutch Destroyer" And His Relationship With Carson Wentz

ESPN – Quarterback Carson Wentz was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles within days of 8-year-old Lukas Kusters being diagnosed with stomach cancer. Lukas was a football player himself. He played with his brothers in the front yard of their home in Wilmington, Delaware, before joining a league at age 6. The ferocity of his spirit and style of play earned Lukas a nickname — the Dutch Destroyer. He also lived by the mantra: “Wake up, kick ass, repeat.” It served him well as the second youngest of five boys in a football-crazed household, and later as he geared up for what doctors described as the fight of his life.

Unreal. There’s really not a lot to add to what is already put out there. Almost everyone has had the unfortunate distinction of being affected either personally or through a close one with cancer. And to see a kid have to battle through that fight is devastating. Great for Carson Wentz and the entire Eagles organization for being overly humane to The Dutch Destroyer (GREAT nickname) and his family. RIP Lukas.

“Wake up. Kick ass. Repeat.”

That’s damn right.

Here’s a link to obtain a Dutch Destroyer Bracelet and donation for his family that will be sent to a non profit organization that helps children battle through cancer. Please donate whatever you can, not just Eagles nation but everyone who watches this and every NFL fan. Football is bigger than a game.
