STRIKING OUT CANCER Former Gael Jason Motte is striking out more than opposing players as a relief pitcher with the St. Louis Cardinals – he is also striking out cancer. Mott, and his wife Caitlin, established The Jason Motte Foundation in 2010 when Caitlin’s grandfather was a cancer patient at a hospital in Memphis, Tenn. The foundation hosts numerous events in order to raise money for cancer research while providing “comfort and care where there is a need for those affected, either directly or indirectly, by cancer of all kinds.” In 2014, Motte was named as the St. Louis Cardinals’ nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award – an annual award given to a Major League Baseball player who “demonstrates the values Clemente displayed in his commitment to community and understanding the value of helping others.” To learn more about Motte’s foundation, visit www.jasonmottefoundation.org.
