This past week, college football enthusiasts have been rallying around David Pollack, a former ESPN analyst, as he faces a challenging time in his personal life.
On Monday, Pollack, who once shone as a Georgia football star, reached out to his supporters, asking for prayers for his family. He shared the heart-wrenching news that his wife was scheduled for surgery at Duke University as she battles brain cancer.
“I don’t usually delve into my personal life on social media, but today is an exception,” Pollack expressed. “If you’re inclined towards prayer, please keep my wife Lindsey in your thoughts. She has brain cancer, and her surgery is this Wednesday at Duke. I’m grateful for a loving God who walks with us through our trials.”
As the day of the procedure approached, Pollack took to social media to express his heartfelt gratitude for the overwhelming support he has received. He made sure to convey how deeply he appreciates everyone’s kindness.
“We often hear about the negativity in the world, but I’ve been genuinely touched by the immense positivity and love,” Pollack shared on X. “I’ve felt it from so many people! I just had an encounter with a man and his wife at the hospital—they came up to my family and me and offered a prayer. God is truly good!”
Pollack’s heartfelt update on Wednesday was met with a surge of compassion from his followers.
“Love reciprocates love,” one fan commented. “You’ve deserved every bit of the affection you’re receiving.”
Another added, “Praying that God’s love envelops you and your wife, leaving room for nothing else.”
A third supporter encouraged, “Sending prayers for your wife and the entire family. Keep us posted on the outcome of the surgery.”
Together, Pollack and his wife Lindsey have two children and have established a foundation dedicated to promoting nutrition and exercise education. Their mission is to help individuals, families, and communities embrace healthy living through better eating habits and physical activity.
During this difficult time, our thoughts are with the Pollack family.
And as more prayers and well-wishes pour in, the shared hope is for Lindsey’s full recovery and the family’s strength.
