Police have released images of the suspect, who is described as a white male, late 40’s early 50’s, grey hair, mustache, with a significant bald spot on the back of his head. He was wearing a blue zipper hooded sweat shirt. Virtually all of the money raised from the donation containers goes to research aimed at curing cancer in children. Some is used for Brady Buggy Wagons. It adds up, $700,000 in the three years since Brady died. The donation containers are a huge part of that, we’re a blue-collar foundation so literally no donation is too small.
