A
A
Where
is
220
million
dollars?
That's
the
whole
human
love
again,
that
was
an
incredible
baseball
player
and
is
taking
something
that
a
lot
of
people
would
just
kind
of
say
we're
done
and
turned
it
into
something
completely
positive
for
others.
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you.
Pete
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
you've
done,
and
your
family
for
incredible
things.
I
also
want
to
thank
David
Casey,
who
wrote
this
book
and
it
was
able
to
capture
others
ball
exactly.
C
D
E
E
Of
the
Boston
Marathon
bombings
and
we
were
meeting
survivors
day
to
day
and
were
so
struck
by
how
strong
they
were
and
we
were
looking
for
it.
We're
gonna
do
another
book
together.
It
had
to
rise
to
that
occasion,
and
somebody
said
you
need
to
be
Freddy's
in
his
family
and
I'm
Dave
and
I
had
sons,
four
guys
so
to
go
up
to
Beverly
Massachusetts.
E
E
Ship
from
Milton
and
we
land
in
Berlin,
and
we
got
to
the
freaking
South
Zone
in
Maryland
and
I.
Remember
meeting
me
as
beautiful
and
truly
his
amazing
mother,
Nancy
and
strong
father
John
and
brother
Andrew.
His
sister
trim
and
we
started
to
talk
to
these
folks.
The
first
time
that
we
met
them
and
Pete
is
in
the
world.
Plane
is
now
and
its
family
is
very
they're,
excited
to
beat
us
and
they're
telling
us
all
of
these
great
stories
about
Pete
and
they're.
E
C
E
Know
what
guys
listen
to
me?
That's
I
will
tell
you
what
I'm
going
through
day
to
day
and
Dave
and
I
after
we
met
Pete
after
we
met
truly
and
realized.
This
isn't
a
story
about
ALS.
It's
not
a
story
about
a
baseball
champion
that
has
overcome
it's
a
love
story.
It's
a
love
story
about
parents
and
love
their
child
and
to
love,
sir,
about
this
amazing
woman.
E
E
Kick-Ass,
which
is
but
when
you
read
it,
it
is
a
story
about
how
a
family
can
overcome
the
current
circumstances
and
literally
change
the
world
because
of
a
person
like
Pete
Frates.
So
I'm
gonna
give
a
couple
thank-yous
and
give
it
to
my
co-author.
My
brother
here
Dave,
but
I,
want
to
I
want
to
thank,
obviously
the
Freddy's
family
obviously
were
Boston.
E
B

You
know
this:
we
continue
to
be
humbled
in
extraordinary
ways.
This
is,
you
know
really
right
there
up
there
with.
You
know
one
of
the
best
days
of
our
lives.
So
thank
you
guys
for
coming
here
and
I
hope
you
all
you
know,
get
the
opportunity
to
buy
the
book
and,
more
importantly,
share
the
book.
You
know
when
people
that
aren't
here,
because
we
know
you
are
in
our
circle
and
you
know
the
people
that
have
supported
us
the
whole
way.
