“She was like, ‘I don’t really want to this,'” Rodgers told ESPN. “I was like, ‘I will do that! Tell your people I will do it!'”
Now for those that do not know, the MACC Fund attempts “to find a cure for childhood cancer and related blood disorders by providing critical funding for research.” So needless to say, Rodgers got to complete one of his dreams while helping a noteworthy organization.
