My name is William J. Mason (Will J) and I am raising awareness around heart disease  for the American Heart Association in honor of my father Michael J. Mason. 

My father passed away December 16, 2017 when I was 9 years old suddenly from a heart attack. He was my dad, hero, best friend and my role model for playing hard on the football field. As a retired professional football player he instilled in me competitiveness, hardwork, focus and the importance of giving back! 

I am dedicating my senior year of high school football at Christian Brothers High to honor my dad and raise funds for AHA.
