"We are your No. 1 Canadian fans: Todd, Amanda and Austin Dredge from Hamilton, Ontario. Who Dey. Go Bengals Go."

"My name is Jason and I have a 4-year-old son named Ryan. Ryan was diagnosed with Legg Calve Perthes Disease back in May. It's a disease in which blood supply is cut off to the ball of the femur where it plugs into the hip socket. Ryan has been on a walker and a wheelchair since his diagnosis, and hasn't been able to run, jump or play with his friends since. On December 15, we had our first of three surgeries to correct the Perthes Disease at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati. Both his legs are casted at a 45-degree angle with a bar connecting the legs above the ankles. When the nurses asked Ryan what color cast he wanted, he said black and orange. After all, he is an avid Bengals fan. We watch the Bengals every week. The last thing he said to me before he went into surgery was, 'Daddy, after they fix my leg, does that mean I can play for the Bengals when I grow up?' To which I answered, 'Ryan, you sure can.' "

"We attended the Bengals at Vikings game and we were able to find an Orange Tiger Bus to take all 26 of us down to the game! Even though we lost that day we still had a great time. Being a Bengals fan in Minnesota isn't always easy because we never get to go to the games but we made the best of this one with the Tiger Bus and all the great fans that were on it with us!"
