A missed kick. A laughing fit. A seizure. And a brain tumor nobody knew existed.
Mark Toothaker was watching Monday Night Football last December when Giants kicker Younghoe Koo completely whiffed on a field goal. He and his wife laughed so hard at the replay that Mark had a seizure. His wife, a nurse, called 911. A CT scan revealed a tennis-ball-sized tumor on his brain. It was removed, it was benign, and he was home by the end of the week.
His words: “The kicker saved my life.”
This Saturday, Mark will be at the Kentucky Derby. He wants Younghoe Koo to come as his guest.
Sometimes the universe works in mysterious ways. 🙏
