I need to take time and sincerely say thank you to Team Gleason. My heart and mind were overwhelmed with the whole experience. I am truly humbled and grateful for everything from that day and all communication was exceptional.
I had the most awesome time with Saints tickets I received from Team Gleason. Four tickets were my Team Gleason Adventure, and I could not have gotten anything better.
Our seats were in the empty handicap area on the same level as the concessions! I am southern and it’s all about food for us. The seats were also very easy together too. We also got to go to the box ticket lounge. It was so nice; we could have stayed there for the game!
If you haven’t been to a Saints game, you should definitely go. It’s an experience like no other. You’re immediately related to everyone. The other team’s fans were like your aunt or uncle who says stuff just to upset ya. The other fans are brothers and sisters going for the same cause. You see, the Saints do so much for the community and the surrounding areas, they’re totally family.
My father, who also had ALS, was the first Saints fan in my family. He loved them from the start in 1967. He retired from the US Navy and I got medically separated after around 13 years. He was so amazing, and he was: Godly, goofy, joyful, clumsy, loyal, and friends with everyone he met. He never ever complained about having ALS.
If anyone tells me I’m like him, I’m truly honored.
