Testimonials

Curt Schilling, Boston Red Sox, with Charity Hop Founders Mike Lembo & Brett Rudy

Curt Schilling
“My family and I would like to thank all of the past participants who have put their bodies on the line and their weekends on hold to help us in our fight against ALS. We strongly hope to see all of you back on the diamond this year, and with that, we strongly encourage a crop of new players to step up to the challenge as well. With the help of your efforts we are making progress everyday.”
