To the NESCAC Football community,

Unfortunately the Middlebury football and school community as a whole took a blow this past weekend, as beloved senior #31 Chet Johnston had a freak accident on campus which has left him with severe injuries to his spinal cord. Chet, an active athlete/skier, has an extremely long and arduous journey ahead of him just to be able to walk again.

The harsh reality with situations like this is that on top of the emotional toll on his family, the financial stress of the surgeries and rehabilitation will be massive. There has been a Go-fund-me started by family members to try and help out with these costs which I will attach right here.

Rivalries and trash talk aside, this would be the perfect time for the NESCAC alumni community to come together and rally behind this young man who is at the start of his long road to recovery. His friends and family massively appreciate any effort to spread this link or help out. Thank you
