Watching the City rally around the victims, the survivors and the first responders made our pride in Orlando swell. We were horrified and came back directly to Orlando. We spent Saturday with that same spirit and then woke up Sunday morning to the news of the PULSE Nightclub shooting. We flew to New York after the services, inspired by his life and wanting to do more. But it was also an inspirational day as the life of Ali came alive with stories of all he was able to contribute to making this a better world. It was a sad day for the world and for us since Muhammad and his wife Lonnie were close friends.
My wife Ann, our daughter Emily and I were at the memorial services for Muhammad Ali in Louisville. As we start the new semester at UCF, our students in the DeVos Sports Business Management Program are gearing up to create and present the fourth 4.9K Rainbow CommUNITY Run in June.
