What seemed like an ordinary day at Bills Training Camp, presented by Connors and Ferris, this summer, turned out to be much more than that for one family from Pittsford, New York. As the Cavaliers, including Frank and his two sons Rory, nine years old, and Owen, 11 years old, visited St. John Fisher College to watch the Bills prepare for the 2018 season, they never imagined that they’d leave with a special gift from Bills running back LeSean McCoy.
“The Town of Pittsford always does an event for families with family members with intellectual or physical disabilities,” said Frank when describing the reason for their visit. “Rory was born with Down Syndrome.”
While they stood along the fence in the Bills Community Relations tent, eagerly awaiting a chance to get autographs from some of their favorite players after practice, they were met by a very enthusiastic McCoy. Approaching Rory, the youngest member of the Cavalier family, with a smile, McCoy handed him four tickets to Buffalo’s Week 12 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Beaming with excitement, Rory, as shown in the viral video of the interaction, proudly accepted the surprise.
