Ohio State athletes’ partnership with the LandOn A Cure Foundation has led to a special bond with 7-year-old Landon McChesney and helped raise awareness for rare genetic disorders.
Seven months later, McChesney’s mother, Jaren, says that the partnership has significantly impacted the foundation and her son. The attention the Buckeyes have brought to Landon’s story has brought more funding to the foundation, but what Jaren says has made the partnership truly special is how the program has embraced Landon, such as when he was honored during one of Ohio State’s home games in January.
. “After that game, we just brought them little thank you cards that Landon had written, and I got a little choked up and I said, ‘If we raise a dollar, that's great. But this team, all that you've done for him, making him feel seen, loved and heard is worth more than anything.’ And that's all we can ask for.”
It wasn’t just the Ohio State women’s basketball team who helped raise money and awareness for LandOn A Cure on Saturday when Woodland’s Backyard in Grandview hosted the Volley for a Cure volleyball tournament, with all proceeds going to the foundation.
Those football players, who were also there in partnership with Cohesion Foundation, spent the night interacting with the McChesneys and other Buckeye fans and playing some volleyball themselves, with the team of Inniss, Rogers, Mathews, Brown, Hawkins and McDonald getting the better of Rodgers, Simpson-Hunt, Moore, Mickens, Reese and Bonsu in a head-to-head matchup between the two sides.
The intensity ratcheted up when the football players went head-to-head. Cedrick Hawkins, Jyaire Brown, Jermaine Mathews Jr., Brandon Inniss, Noah Rogers, Kayden McDonald got the win over Bryson Rodgers, Calvin Simpson-Hunt, Jason Moore, Joshua Mickens, Arvell Reese, Jayden Bonsu.
