Cardinals WR Fitzgerald and his Personal Connection to his gear

These Nikes were designed with Fitzgerald’s mom in mind.

Tonight Arizona Cardinal‘s Pro Bowler Wide Receiver Larry Fitzgerald will be dressing in pink gear to support the NFL’s efforts to raise attention to Breast Cancer Awareness month.

But, like so many of us Fitzgerald has a personal connection to the disease- he lost his mother to the illness in 2003.

Nike has created special shoes with his mother’s name imprinted on them. I saw them on Rich Eisen‘s Twitter account this afternoon and wanted to share.
