Something that a lot of University of Alabama fans may have forgotten over the years was that in the wake of the tornado that ripped through Tuscaloosa on April 27, 2011, the Crimson Tide football team would soon be dealing with another tragedy.
On May 11, Aaron Douglas, an incoming Alabama offensive lineman who previously spent two years at Tennessee, died in Jacksonville, Fla., due to an accidental drug overdose.
He was 21.
The day after Nick Saban and numerous players attended a memorial service for Doulas in Knoxville, Tenn., the coach was back in Tuscaloosa and attended a special radio broadcast called Hey Coach … Helping Out,” to help raise money for UA’s Acts of Kindness Fund and other organizations involved in disaster relief.

MEDFORD, Ore.- Tomorrow is the 5th annual Run with Grace 5K in honor of life of Grace Holt, a fifteen year old girl who lost her life to depression through suicide five years ago on January 3, 2016. The annual run is special this year, landing on Grace s birthday.
This years 5K run looks a little different due to Covid-19. In previous years there would be over 800 runners, but with new Covid restrictions, there will only be 150 runners. There will be two separate times to split up the runners in half, 75 runners starting at 6pm and 75 runners starting at 7pm.
