LSU family, college football world sends support to Greg Brooks Jr. after cancer diagnosis
On Wednesday, the Brooks family, LSU and Our Lady of the Lake Health announced that Tigers defensive back Greg Brooks Jr., who underwent a procedure last month to remove a brain tumor, had been diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer.
According to the statements, the surgery successfully removed the brain tumor, and there is no evidence the cancer has spread. Brooks’ speech and ability to communicate have been impacted, however, and he faces “months of intensive rehabilitation.”
If you wish to support Brooks and his family, you can donate to the Greg Brooks Victory Fund by clicking this link.
After Brooks’ diagnosis was announced, members of the LSU family and college football world at large took to social media to voice their support and well-wishes for Brooks.
Please support Greg and his family
