WHY
Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2007 while playing football at San Diego State University, Tyler Campbell refuses to let the disease stop him from moving his life forward. A successful businessman, husband and father, Tyler views his diagnosis as a blessing, stating, “I now have the opportunity to share my experience to help others living with this disease and make an impact on the MS community.” Tyler, a long-time Austinite, now serves as an MS Ambassador for Pro Player Foundation and the National MS Society and is on a mission to help other people with the disease, especially those facing the uncertainty of the future of their education due to MS. The Pro Player Foundation has adopted Tyler’s mission and aspirations to completely put an end to Multiple Sclerosis forever. Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. The mission of Pro Player Foundation is to address the needs of underserved children by raising dollars and awareness through special events and programs. Pro Player Foundation partners with athletes to achieve philanthropic and community needs, and we believe there is nothing we cannot achieve when we unite and work together.
