In 2021, Miami Dolphins edge rusher Jaelan Phillips participated in a 100-mile bike ride challenge initiated by former receiver Mack Hollins to support the Dolphins Cancer Challenge (DCC). Phillips was moved by the community's response and decided to join the DCC board. The annual DCC event, now the NFL's largest fundraising initiative, aims to raise funds for cancer research, having contributed over $75 million. Both Phillips and teammate Braxton Berrios emphasize the importance of proactive measures in combating health issues, particularly cancer.
"After doing the ride, being around DCC, seeing the incredible community support... it was kind of a no-brainer for me to get involved in any way that I could."
"You have 99 problems in this world until you have a health problem then you have one problem... Being proactive instead of reactive is obviously the best thing to do as far as cancer research and everything else goes."
