'You guys are the real warriors': Green Bay Packers Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft visit Children's Wisconsin in Milwaukee
Two Green Bay Packers visited Children's Wisconsin Milwaukee Hospital on Tuesday, to help boost the spirits of tiny Packers fans battling childhood cancer.
Tight ends Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft played games with patients and families at the hospital, and some kids from the MACC Fund Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders joined in on the fun virtually.
A game of Cranium with a football theme was played. There was also a good old-fashioned football toss. Musgrave and Kraft also took a few pictures and signed some autographs.
"You guys should be giving me signatures," Kraft said to the kids in a video. "You guys are the real warriors."
The tight ends were visiting as part of the Packers vs. Cancer initiative, which was launched seven years ago and aims to raise awareness for all cancers. The Packers partner with Bellin Health and the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation.
“Seeing the kids' faces light up when the Packers players walked in was truly heartwarming,” said Christine Baranoucky, vice president of engagement & stewardship for Children’s Wisconsin.
“Moments like this allow kids to be kids and forget about their treatment, even if just for a little while. We're immensely grateful to the Packers for their support and the joy they bring to the community. Go Pack Go!”
