Follow up: Tom Izzo is a Mensch
A 21 year old young man from here in Southern Indiana named Sam Schulz wanted more than anything to go to East Lansing and see his beloved Spartans basketball team in person.
Sam (and his older sister) suffers from Epidermolysis bullosa, which is a devastating and terminal illness that makes their skin extremely delicate.
Coach Izzo has reached out to Sam in the past. But he recently got word that Sam’s condition had taken a turn for the worse. So, a couple weeks ago, he arranged to have Sam and his family up to meet the team and watch practice. A news story about this is linked below.
Sam passed away today, as he always knew he would. But not without first having fulfilled his dream of seeing the Spartans in person.
…thanks to Coach Izzo.
