I would really appreciate the help of my fellow glovers to get some votes for my story of my mom's battle with breast cancer on MLB.com. I really believe she deserves this opportunity for being the beautiful strong woman and mother she is. With your help I hope I can make this opportunity come true.

Just voted and really hope that your mom wins, Josh! My prayers and wishes for her complete recovery. I know it takes a tremendous amount of courage to go through the chemo treatments. My mom lost her battle with lymph node cancer years ago. She has been gone for 16 years now, but I try to keep my memory of her and of the care and warmth that she gave to her family and friends alive for my daughter. I doubt that there is a week that goes by without me mentioning her Grandma Rhea, whether it's a recipe or a reminiscence about the way things were way back when I was my daughter's age. Good luck in the contest!

Great story! There's nothing more I'd like to see than your Mom in the dugout at Wrigley this summer. Best wishes to her...

Will talk to you soon

You have my vote as glove collecting is far more than just collecting and admiring. It's about sharing. My mother-in-law has gone through that fight and has survived.
Cancer and the treatment will hit you with every bat in their lineup. You have pitch through it with every ounce of positive strength and support from your teammates and with God's blessings.
