The Colchester Gladiators are mourning the tragic loss of linebacker Sam Austin’s sister, who passed away at the young age of 34. The entire club stands united in offering heartfelt condolences to Sam and his family during this incredibly difficult time.
In a heartfelt gesture to honor his sister’s memory, Sam has decided to shave off his cherished ponytail. This act is not only a personal tribute but also aims to help cover the costs associated with her funeral. “I want to give her the send-off she deserves,” Sam shared.
The Gladiators are encouraging fans, family, and alumni to support Sam during this challenging period. A GoFundMe page has been set up to assist with the funeral expenses, and any contributions would be greatly appreciated.
“We are all thinking of Sam and his family,” said a club representative. “This is a time for us to come together as a community and show our support.”
Fans and supporters can find the GoFundMe link on the Gladiators’ official social media channels, where it will be shared on their story as well. Thank you for your support in helping Sam honor his sister’s memory.
