GoFundMe for ESPN Reporter's Son Whose Parents Died From Cancer Raises $1 Million

The GoFundMe campaign continues to grow for Packer Dickerson, the son of ESPN Chicago Bears reporter Jeff Dickerson who recently died from complications with colon cancer.

ESPN's Adam Schefter gave $5,000 to increase the Parker Dickinson fund to $1 million on Friday. Jeff died in the same hospice facility where his wife, Caitlin, died two years ago, on Tuesday. Caitlin was diagnosed with melanoma and dealt with its complications for over seven years.

Every dollar raised in the fund will go toward directly supporting Parker's education, health, welfare and his athletics.
