University of Utah linebacker/defensive end Trevor Reilly is among the outstanding student athletes deserving of our support. During the offseason prior to his senior season for the Utes, Reilly learned his 1-year-old daughter, Shayn, had kidney cancer. After doctors removed a fist-sized tumor, Shayn underwent weekly chemotherapy treatments that carried over into the 2013 season.
