The Caw: 5-Year-Old Leukemia Patient Runs For Touchdown At Ravens Practice
Jack Kirkbride took a handoff from his favorite player, Joe Flacco, and weaved his way into the end zone. He closed practice by breaking the huddle. Said Head Coach John Harbaugh, ‘That puts things in perspective quite nicely.’
Riding a two-game losing skid and with a banged-up roster, Baltimore is heading into a huge game against the New York Giants Sunday at MetLife Stadium.
While they may be hurting mentally and physically, the Ravens got an emotional boost at the end of Friday’s practice from another fighter.
Little 5-year-old Jack Kirkbride visited Ravens practice, fresh from a clinical appointment. He is battling a rare form of leukemia at John’s Hopkins Hospital.
