Chris Lindstrom, an All-Pro guard for the Atlanta Falcons, reflects on his late mother, Dawn, who was a fierce supporter of her children's athletic pursuits. Her encouragement and strength shaped Lindstrom's journey, especially during challenging times, including his battle with kidney hydronephrosis.

Dawn's passing from ovarian cancer in December 2021 left a profound impact on Lindstrom, who recently became the highest-paid guard in NFL history. He honors her memory by celebrating milestones with family, embodying her mantra of perseverance.
