Christmas Caroling at Riley

It definitely was a once in a lifetime opportunity: On December 19, four cheerleaders, six football players, Mr. Irsay and a variety of other Colts employees, went caroling through the halls of Riley Hospital for Children.

My task this day: walk alongside of the guitar player, holding his music. But more importantly I was the one who chose the songs which we would grace these children with. And the award for the most popular song that day goes to: Jingle Bells. It was a safe choice considering its simple tune and the fact that it could be shortened to a single verse, or even better, just the chorus. Furthermore the less the players had to sing the better my ears were :) I only say this in good spirit! It truly was amazing to see guys like Justin Snow and Anthony Castanzo walking the halls on their day off, singing to these children. The smiles that formed in the faces of these children will forever be plastered in my memory.

How beautiful each and every one of these kids were. Forever I will be inspired by their strength.
