At each home game, Kentucky Football honors a patient from the Kentucky Children’s Hospital (KCH) as the “Lift Them Up” Kid of the Game, inviting them to practice and having them lead the team in the Cat Walk in a specially-designed push cart. This week, Mark Stoops will go a step further, sporting a pair of shoes designed by 12-year-old cancer survivor and former KCH patient Ella Woodford and Billy Hobbs of True Blue Customs.
The shoes will be auctioned off later to raise money for pediatric cancer research. This week, Ella stopped by practice to give Stoops the shoes, a very cool moment that you can see in a video below by UK HealthCare.
