I'm so proud that we are able to help," says Brady founder of Keeper for a Cure

While attending a Virginia summer camp for soccer goalkeepers, 9-year-old Brady Krysiewicz listened intently as a coach spoke to the kids and challenged them to be leaders—both on and off the soccer field.

Later that day, while hanging out in the hotel pool with his father, Brady asked, “Dad, what does being a leader mean? How can I help out?”

“Well, son, many people suffer from terrible diseases,” Anthony Krysiewicz told Brady. “You could help sick people.”

The wheels in Brady’s mind turned as he thought of two of his great-aunts who had died from breast cancer, and had never had the chance to meet their great-nephew.
