Mitch Trubisky to wear cleats honoring Kanler Coker's brother, charity formed after his death
Posted Dec 3, 2017
Mitch Trubisky will wear silver and white cleats Sunday to support a friend’s family. As part of the NFL’s “My Cause, My Cleats” campaign, the Bears’ quarterback will wear spikes honoring Thumbs Up Mission. The charity provides getaways for families dealing with cancer. Kanler Coker, one of Trubisky’s best friends at UNC, lost his little brother Keaton to brain cancer in 2014.
