As news of ESPN Chicago Bears reporter Jeff Dickerson's death spread on Tuesday evening, one positive detail also went viral—the GoFundMe campaign for his son, Parker.
Jeff died from complications with colon cancer at the same hospice care facility where his wife, Caitlin, died two years ago. She was diagnosed with melanoma and dealt with its complications for over seven years. Jeff's sister-in-law recently posted a GoFundMe campaign to support Parker, saying, in part, “that every dollar raised will directly support Parker’s education, health and welfare … and yes, his athletics.”
The campaign has continued to gain traction, raising over $450,000 as of 5:47 p.
