Merry Christmas to Casey from Alex

2 in  a row! Well Casey, this year I got to know you a little bit better and came up with something I think you would appreciate.

I know you're a fan of Real Salt Lake (at least, according to your Facebook) and having served your mission in London, I know that you have at least a little bit of a traveling spirit within you. So, here is your gift.

Soccer is the worlds most popular sport. Unfortunately for many, they can't afford a standard ball, or even if they can, the only places to play tend to have sharp debris that may ruin any good solid soccer ball. There is group of people who have come together for the purpose of encouraging play in remote 3rd world countries. This group has solved the problem of a poppable ball. It's made from super durable foam, but also behaves just like a standard soccer ball when kicked and hit etc. So even if it hits or rolls into glass or jagged metal, or the mouth of a lion, its the ball that takes a lickin' and keeps on kickin'!

This group has also made it possible to deliver to these incredibly remote areas, and through them I have purchased a ball in Casey's name. So for Christmas somewhere, there is a group of kids that had no ball, but have received a package with Casey's name on it, that will provide a means for these children to have something to play with.

Merry Christmas Casey!
