It was a tough night for Mark Andrews in the divisional playoffs in Buffalo, but Bills fans and others are stepping up with support.
Alarmed by the backlash at Andrews after his fourth quarter fumble and dropped two-point conversion, Bills fan Nicholas Howard has started a GoFundMe to raise money for Breakthrough TD1, a diabetes research and advocacy organization.
The organization is near and dear to Andrews, who was diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes at 9 years old and still deals with it every day. He checks his blood-sugar levels between each offensive series.
Andrews has been outspoken in his advocacy around the issue and served as a Breakthrough TD1 youth ambassador.
The fundraiser had an initial goal of $5,000 but has surpassed $37,000 with a new goal of $50,000. More than 1,400 people have donated.
