Peyton Manning Comes Up Big For Fan With Stage 4 Breast Cancer

Kari Barnett Bollig is putting up the fight of her life against Stage 4 breast cancer. She knows the severity of the cancer and knows her fight might not last much longer.

This made her do something she probably wouldn’t have done under normal circumstances. Bollig has been a long-time fan of football star Peyton Manning an she had the desire to meet him.

Though it was a long shot, she decided to reach out to Manning and write him letter. She wrote Manning explaining to him about her battle with cancer and that he was a great inspiration to her, not only on the field but also off the field.

Her letter was a very heartfelt and emotional one, and she just let her feelings seep into the letter. To her surprise Manning did get the letter and responded by flying Bollig and her husband to Denver to watch him and the Broncos play the season opener against the Ravens.

Manning also gave the couple sideline passes and a tour of the team facility. Bollig was amused when Manning walked up to her and shook her hand saying, ‘I’m Peyton Manning.’
She thought his gesture was cute because of course she knew he was Peyton Manning.
