The New England Patriots shared a powerful message to a die-hard fan who was battling illness and given only days to live over Father’s Day weekend.
After the fans’ first tweet went viral over social media following an outpouring of fans trying to get the teams attention, Patriots Owner and CEO Robert Kraft, along with special teams captain Matthew Slater, each sent personal videos for the fan to hear during his final hours. The Hollister twins also reached out to show some support and compassion.
Check out the course of events that went down over Twitter and made for a very special Fathers Day for one man and his son.
