What an incredible full-circle story by Evan Leake! https://lnkd.in/gvdAUbfd The E.W. Scripps Company

I'm really proud of this story, and it meant the world to me to get to share it. Just a testament to how amazing Chase is and the impact he makes on people’s lives. “Lift Them Up” is an incredible program Kentucky Football does and I’m honored to have been able to shed light on it. Thank you to everyone involved who helped this story come to life, including our amazing photog Nick Lazaroff who helped shoot this. WLEX-TV

When local news becomes national news it means a very trying, tiresome week. However, I’m proud of the WLEX-TV newsroom for the excellent work produced; some of it shown here.
