Does that radar gun say my first pitch was 94 mph?

It in fact does not say that! 😂

It was actually 74 mph!
(Which I say is pretty good considering it has been 13 years since I played for UM!)

Here it is folks, the moment you have all been waiting for...

This is my first pitch before the University of Mobile Baseball game today. There was about $35/mph pledged for donations to Fighting With Hope so I had to bring the high heat!

How fast do you think it was?

Last chance to make a pledge on the First Pitch for Hope tomorrow! Hope to see yall at the UM baseball game! Comment below how many $/mph you want to wager and we will share the speed tomorrow after the game so you can know how much to donate!

First pitch will be around 12:45 and the double header starts at 1pm! Come hungry, we are cooking some good food and proceeds will support Fighting With Hope!

This is the story of why the University of Mobile is so special for us at Fighting With Hope.

If you asked me to come up with the perfect partnership for the ministry that Emily and I founded together, I think I would just tell you to come to the University of Mobile baseball game…

Which 1st pitch should I throw on Saturday? (I'm feeling the behind the back)

It's not too late to make a pledge for the 1st Pitch for Hope!

Just comment below this post how much you are pledging to donate to Fighting With Hope for every MPH of my first pitch! Then share this post with a friend who may also want to take the pledge.

If I throw 42mph:

☀️ $2 pledge = $84 donation!
☀️ $4 pledge = $168 donation!
☀️ $10 pledge = $420 donation!

This Saturday at the University of Mobile Baseball game! 1st pitch will be ~12:45. Double header starts at 1pm!

Come hungry! We will be cooking burgers 🍔, conecuh dogs 🌭, and desserts 🍪 and all proceeds will directly support Fighting With Hope!

In less than 1 WEEK, Fighting With Hope will be at the University of Mobile baseball game on April 18.

Join us in supporting FWH and helping fundraise so others can receive a box full of joy—each one thoughtfully created by our founder, Emily.

Did you know ⁉️

• ~80% of FWH boxes requested are not sponsored and rely on donations to be sent.

• To date, FWH has sent over 1,600 chemo boxes across the United States!

• Brady was a member of the University of Mobile baseball team from 2010–2013.

Took a quick break from work to practice my first pitch. I hope this fireball doesn't deter anyone from taking the first pitch for hope pledge! 🔥

This one was probably a solid 37 mph. 😂 You would need to pledge $7/mph just to cover 1 chemo box for a cancer patient at that speed!

Have you taken the First Pitch For Hope Pledge yet?

Pledge a dollar amount for every mph I throw my first pitch before the University of Mobile Baseball game on April 18th at 1pm.

If my pitch is 37mph...

☀️ $1 pledge = $37 donation
☀️ $5 pledge = $185 donation
☀️ $10 pledge = $370 donation
Etc....

Every chemo box we send is filled with ~$200 worth of helpful items specifically designed for cancer patients!

🌞 First Pitch For Hope! 🌞

I have the honor of throwing out the 1st pitch for Senior Day at the University of Mobile Baseball game!

Will you take the first pitch pledge? Here's how it works.

You pledge to donate a certain $ amount for every MPH on my first pitch. Then you make a donation to FWH based on how fast my actual pitch goes. And every dollar goes directly to sponsoring chemo boxes for cancer patients all around the country!

For example:

🌞 If my first pitch is 50 MPH and
🌞 You pledged $1 = $50 donation
🌞 You pledged $12 = $600 donation

April 18th -> DH @ 1pm -> Jacobs Field

We will also be serving Burgers, Conecuh dogs, and other food so come hungry and ready to support a great cause while we cheer on the Rams!

Mark your calendars for April 18th! This is one of our favorite events of the year! Baseball, burgers, and supporting the work of sending Hope to those battling cancer!
 
Be sure to show up early to see Brady throw out the first pitch before the game. Do you think he can top his 71mph first pitch from last year?!
 
Come ready to eat as all burger and baked goods proceeds will directly support the work of Fighting With Hope! There will also be ways at the game to donate directly to this 501c3 nonprofit.

Many of you know that my sister, Emily, was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer at the age 27, and fought it for almost 7 years before passing away last February. She is and always will be my hero, and I miss her every single second. I am wearing my blue today to support colon cancer awareness and to remind you to get screened as early as you can!! 💙💙
