Cardinals players and young adults and kids with disabilities joined forces for practice and a flag football game Saturday at team headquarters.
TEMPE — Haggai Chisom Ndubuisi made a new friend on Saturday, 23-year-old Jake Capstick.
"I have a younger brother who is sick, too," Ndubuisi said. Capstick reminded Ndubuisi of his brother in Africa, and instantly a bond was built. Bender's younger brother Mikey dealt with cerebral palsy his whole life, but did so with courage and never let it stop him from playing sports. Bender said playing sports changed the way his brother viewed life."It wasn't 'He couldn't,' it was 'How can he,'" Bender said.
One reason for Kennard's presence was his friendship with Gardeck. He worked up a sweat trying to cover pass receivers in that drill.
