Jesus Luzardo finished seventh in the Cy Young voting last year, and this past week he sat down with HSBN to discuss his journey to the big leagues, his roots at Douglas, and his desire to give back to his community.

HSBN Sunday Morning Chat: Jesus Luzardo

***Note From HSBN Vice-President Anthony Uttariello***

One of the topics discussed in this interview was the recent health diagnosis of Douglas Manager Todd Fitz-Gerald’s wife, Colleen.

In the Fall, the family learned that Colleen was diagnosed with Brain Cancer. They have an entire community of support, and it takes an entire army to fight.

Coach Fitz-Gerald is a close personal friend of myself, and HSBN, and has spent a lifetime impacting student-athletes here in South Florida. If anyone would like to donate to help the Fitz-Gerald family at this difficult time, you can do so with the link below.
