Aiden’s Dream Day At Redskins Park

We’d like to introduce you to Aiden Lipscomb, a fun-loving, energetic, yet sometimes expectedly shy, animated three year old from Northern Virginia. He’s still just a toddler but his heart is full of life and just like the rest of us bleeds burgundy and gold!

He claims to be your number one Redskins fan something that after reminiscing on the afternoon spent with Aiden is hard to argue.

His Dad, Chris Lipscomb, grew up in a Redskins family located in Alexandria, Virginia, while his Mom, Leslie Lipscomb, was raised in nearby Clifton, so there was never any doubt in their minds that their little boy Aiden would grow up singing ‘Hail to the Redskins!’ – his favorite song by the way.

When asked about his favorite Redskins player without hesitation he answered smiling, “Chris Cooley.” His answer was fitting seeing as his #47 jersey was the shirt that he decided to sport on his dream tour of Redskins Park.

What you would never be able to tell without knowing his story is that at just five months old Aiden was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), an aggressive type of muscle cancer.

In just three days, the Washington Redskins and the Indianapolis Colts square off in both team’s third game of the preseason — which is usually the preseason contest in which the teams’ starters play the most.

The game is being billed as some as the matchup between April’s No. 1 NFL Draft pick, Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, and the No. 2 pick, Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III.

However you are getting ready for the game, the Redskins were outside on Wednesday preparing for the Colts, who have averaged 31 points per game through their first two preseason games (1-1).

After a day of plane tracking, Twitter photos, and blog teasers, new Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III has finally come home to roost at Redskins Park.

Griffin arrived with his family at the facilities late this afternoon and was escorted around his new place of employment by the Redskins brass.  This was his second trip to the facilities, but the first wearing a Redskins emblem.  The last time he came by was several weeks ago for his official visit with the team.

This visit was a lot less awkward, and lot more exciting for everyone involved.

Redskins broadcaster Larry Michael and Jordan Beane made the trip up to New York early this morning in order to document the Griffin trip back to Washington.  Here’s a video recap of the first of many Redskins days with Robert Griffin III: Read more »
