and it’s always cool when people are generous with each other. From BYU’s site: Kaufusi Health Concerns Rallies Support From Utah
When student-athletes are faced with a challenge off the court, rallying forces come in from all corners to show support. BYU sophomore forward Alexis Kaufusi was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and will miss the rest of the 2010-11 season.
Purple has become a part of the BYU uniform in support of Kaufusi, from her purple hoodie she wears on the bench to ribbons worn by the coaching staff.
In the Deseret Duel rivalry game at the Huntsman Center on Feb. 12, the University of Utah women’s basketball team showed its concern and support for Kaufusi by wearing a purple warm-up t-shirt that said “Hope Fight” and had her number on the back. Prior to the game, players also gave her a bouquet of roses and a gift.
