Dallas, TX—Chris Jones, Punter #6 for the Dallas Cowboys, has chosen The Cure Starts Now and The Cure Starts Now Austin Chapter Team Brock to be represented on one of his cleats for “My Cause My Cleats” which will be worn in week 14’s game against the Chicago Bears at 7:20 PM on FOX/NFL.

Chris Jones and his wife, Sara, met Brock, the inspiration behind The Cure Starts Now Austin Chapter, during his battle with DIPG on September 25, 2016 at the Cowboys home game against Chicago, and graciously introduced Brock to other team members afterwards. Chris and Sara have remained supportive of Team Brock ever since, even donating two Cowboys footballs signed by multiple players for its Silent Auction at the May golf tournaments.

Chris was shocked to discover how little government funding there is for pediatric brain cancer and in 2017, it was important to him to honor Brock, raise awareness for DIPG, and so he chose The Cure Starts Now for “My Cause My Cleats.” This is the second “My Cause My Cleats” representation for The Cure Starts Now Foundation.
