Last season, word came out that then Cleveland Indians utility man Mike Aviles was going through a difficult time. His daughter, Adriana, had been diagnosed with cancer. It is awful when anyone is diagnosed with cancer, but it really hurts deep when a child is faced with this struggle. Aviles and his Indians teammates took it upon themselves to help support Adriana and her fight against Leukemia by shaving their own heads:
Today it was revealed that now Tigers utility man Mike Aviles’ daughter is cancer-free. What great news. An amazing way to start your Thursday. Here are some reactions around the league:
Michael Brantley was thrilled to hear the news of Mike Aviles’ daughter being cancer free. Said he contacted Aviles through the process.
