Tom Brady discussed his changing role with Best Buddies International

It was recently revealed that Tom Brady will no longer be the honorary cochair of the local Best Buddies Challenge, a role he’s held for 16 years.

Instead, the 42-year-old quarterback will become a “global ambassador” to continue his support of Best Buddies International, a non-profit organization that works to make opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

In a recent interview on WEEI’s “The Greg Hill Show,” Brady was asked why he was making the switch.

“The summers just end up being a very busy time and my kids are getting older and we have so many different things taking us in different directions,” Brady explained.
