Ten-Year-Old Boy Uses College Money To Buy “The Fridge’s” Super Bowl Ring . . And Returns It To The Ailing Bears Linebacker


   
For those of us who are lifelong Bears fans, there are few icons quite like William “The Refrigerator” Perry. It is well-known among Bears fans that Perry hit tough times financially and then was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome. I saw this story on Reddit and was moved by the kindness shown to Perry by a Cliff Forest, 10, who saw that Perry’s Super Bowl XX ring was being sold.

Realizing that Perry may have had to sell it, Forest used $8,500 from his college fund to buy the ring . . . and then tracked down Perry and gave it to him.

It turns out that Forest is not even a Bears fans. He is from California.

Forest found “The Fridge” at the Ace Hardware Spring Convention at McCormick Place signing autographs and presented the ring to him. Perry declined to explain what happened to the ring but was overwhelmed by young Forest’s act of kindness.

Well done, Cliff.

What a touching story it is...all I can say is wow...
Something like this always remind us of the fact that there are still many people with warm hearts...amazing case of young hero.

Unbelievable that a 10 year old would know The Fridge especially when he's not from Chicago. Possibly a nudge from some football loving parents? Perry must've been in awe. Great story.
