On July 25th 2021 Mason Sawyers life would change forever. Because of a sudden dust storm. A horrible crash occurred while Mason's family was returning from a family reunion that he was unable to attend. Mason's wife Kortni, children Riggins and Franki, brother Race, and nephew Ryder were killed. His son Blue survived. The way that Mason has responded to this unspeakable tragedy is inspiring. One of the things that has helped him the most is some of the simple lessons he learned while playing sports. This is an incredible story of resilience that highlights the most valuable reasons we help our children play sports.
