I'm Ben Criddle, I played for the BYU football team from 2005-2007.  I'm currently living in Utah and recently John Beck (our team captain in 2006) got in contact with me about Michael Reed (one of my former teammates) and how he is being impacted severely by Hurricane Harvey.

Mike Reed was a wonderful teammate that wowed us with his spectacular catches and was always willing to sign autographs and interact with the fans.

He and his family are safe, but the next few months of their lives are going to be extremely difficult. He's in the business of training and mentoring athletes in the area, none of which will have have access to his gym during the cleanup nor will it be a priority as everyone rebuilds their lives.

If you remember Mike and what he did as a player please help us support him! If you're just a BYU football fan, give what you can! If you're a former teammate, let's help our brother when he needs us most! He will need these funds to take care of himself and his family for the next 2-3 months while they rebuild lives. Once we reach our goal of 10k, we will transfer the funds to Mike so he has the means to pay his bills, purchase food, clothes and ultiimately take care of his family.
