Spider Super Fan, Mike Radford, in desperate need

[Hangtime31]

Hello Spider Nation,

Many of you on here know my father, Mike Radford. Myself and my brother, Brian Radford, were kickers and punters for the Spider Football team from 2002 - 2010. This post is hard for me to write. Recently my parents, Mike & Maureen Radford, were victims of a HUGE online financial scam. They lost their entire life savings, 401K and even a good chunk of their home equity was stolen. They are now in debt with nowhere to turn. Now, instead of enjoying grandkids and a modest and happy retirement life, they are lost. One of my dad's friends started a GoFundMe page to assist them. When I say anything, I mean ANYTHING will help them or even sharing the GoFundMe page to other platforms is much appreciated. They did everything right in their life and don't deserve this. Please visit their page here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/assist-mike-radford-pirate-superfan-in-need

Chris: Sorry to hear about this. I will make a donation, I'm sure every little bit will help. For those that don't know for years Mike roamed the stands to lead our fans in cheers (many I believe were his own creation), some of which continue today. Going back further, he was also head Golf and Assistant Wrestling Coach in the late 70's. https://collegian.richmond.edu/?a=d&d=COL19771117.2.34&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN-------

Chris, how did this happen? Was it an email scam or was someone able to gain their confidence? Scammers got my parents to send funds to them in order to spring my nephew from jail in Peru. They were taken for 2,000.

BUMP, I think we can do better to help a loyal Spider!

Mike created a book on the 2008 National Championship. Mike also led great cheers on the
side line and would get the fans really going.
