After signing a new multi-million contract with the Royals last month, left-hander Danny Duffy is looking to give some of that money back.
And it’s to a good cause.
Duffy is donating $500 for every strikeout this season to Noah’s Bandage Project. That non-profit makes colorful bandages for kids while also raising funds for pediatric cancer research. It is named for Noah Wilson, who died in 2015 at the age 7. He had a rare bone cancer called Ewing’s sarcoma that went into remission after a lengthy treatment period. Months later Noah was diagnosed with a secondary cancer, acute myelogenous leukemia.
