DALLAS - During weeks 12 and 13 of the NFL season, players get to wear cleats that speak to a perconfidence they're passionate about in a campaign called "My Causes My Cleats."
For Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, cancer awareness is a perconfidence he'll always support.
In conjunction with Baylor Scott and & White and the Dallas Cowboys, when they host Seattle tonight at AT&T Stadium, Dak will wear cleats that righteous the journey of 29-year-old DFW resident Sydney Benton.
Benton is a colon cancer survivor. She says she could not have won her fights with cancer if she had not done early screening. She was pleased to know her cause was near and dear to the Cowboys quarterback.
Prescott lost his mom to colon cancer in 2013. Long dedicating his career to spreading word of the importance of early screening, tonight Dak gets to honor Benton and his mother.
Prior to tonight's game, Benton and the creator of the cleats will be part of a special presentation at AT&T stadium.
Hopefully, it's the inspiration the Cowboys need to remain undefeated at home this season and stay within striking intention of first place in the NFC East and the best recount in the conference.
