A Wisconsin family whose signed No. 45 Michael Jordan jersey was stolen from their home received a replacement from the NBA legend this week.
The Dunn County Sheriff's Office shared the happy news on Facebook.
Suzanne Valleau-Schiel told Paul Walsh of the Minneapolis Star Tribune that Jordan signed the jersey for her daughter, Kelsey Schiel, in 1995 during a visit arranged through the Starlight Children's Foundation. Kelsey was 6 years old at the time and suffering from a rare disease, which she has since beaten.
The jersey was stolen from a house belonging to Schiel's grandfather after it burned down in October. Two suspects have been arrested in connection with the case.
