Every Chicago Fire supporters knows who Mike Banner is, but most will be unaware of the fact that every 45 seconds a child dies from Malaria. Today, the Fire’s very own Mike Banner will be participating in the OSA World Juggle-a-thon to benefit Nothing But Nuts. The event takes place at 6pm CT tonight and soccer players, fans and coaches everywhere are juggling to get better and to save lives.
