Spread the love

The South Bay is known for many things- the beautiful weather, beaches, big events such as volleyball tournaments and concerts, but one of the most important parts of this wonderful little “bubble” we all live in is how our community comes together as one, whenever need be. And right now is the time for doing just that. One of our very own has come face to face with the biggest battle of them all- the fight for his life. Eric Stevens, who is a South Bay local and is very near and dear to all of us at Mickey’s Deli, is fighting to keep his head above water after being diagnosed with the horrible and incredibly fatal auto-immune disease that is, ALS. 

Eric, an ex NFL player turned firefighter, was delivered this crippling news only a month after he married his college sweetheart, Amanda. Ever since finding out, the fight has been on and his friends, family and the community have all come together to give Eric as much support and love as humanly possible. Along with this Eric and his wife knew that they weren’t going to just let the disease control them, that they were going to take control and by doing so they started Team Stevens Nation. Starting as an Instagram and a hashtag of #AxeALS, it caught on quickly and spread even quicker! They created this platform to help Eric raise money for his fight and to bring awareness to the disease. The Team stevens Nations isn’t just making a ripple, they are making a huge splash and not just for Eric but for every person that has ever suffered or is being diagnosed with ALS. 

The Steven’s Nation’s Turkey Pesto Sandwich

The Team Stevens Nation movement has gained so much traction and attention that Eric and his wife have had multiple outlets reach out. They were featured on the Ellen show, Rams football game, and even made it to the White House to meet with multiple congressmen! As a community, over 3000 people came out to support Eric and his fight to “Axe ALS” for a corn hole tournament fundraiser with food provided by Mickey’s Deli and was held in Redondo Beach. There is an over-pouring amount of support and love from the community and Mickey’s Deli’s team members wanted to make sure they had a hand in playing a supportive role as well.
