Welcome to this episode of Reaching Higher, featuring former Patriots guard and three-time Super Bowl champion Joe Andruzzi. In this powerful conversation, Joe shares his journey from the NFL gridiron to an even tougher battle—his fight against non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which ended his playing career.
He discusses his path to becoming a true champion both on and off the field. Joe opens up about his battle with cancer and his eventual recovery, a life-altering experience that inspired him and his wife, Jen, to found the Joe Andruzzi Foundation (JAF) in 2008. We delve into the Foundation’s mission of providing financial assistance and support to cancer patients and their families, easing their day-to-day struggles so they can focus on their treatment.
Listen in to hear Joe’s perspective on resilience, the importance of paying it forward, and how his family’s spirit guided him through his toughest moments. His story is a testament to turning personal struggles into a mission of hope and help for thousands of others.
