Yaussi kicks it for Macie

LOVELAND - Macie Morse is trying to see, and Deric Yaussi is putting his best foot forward to ensure that she does.
The Colorado Ice kicker booted two field goals and added two extra points in the Ice's home-opener Thursday night against the Billings Outlaws.
Yaussi hopes to help raise aproximately $40,000 for Morse, who suffers from optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) and is nearly blind.
That money would be used to send Morse to China where she would receive a stem-cell injection that has been successful in treating people with ONH.
Morse and Yaussi filmed a segment, which was shown at halftime, together urging people to donate money and or sponsor him by making a financial pledge for every point he scores this season.
A silent Bud Center crowd then saw a video of what Morse's every day experiences are like.
"I pretty much cried all the way through it," said Rochelle Morse, Macie's mother. "It's just unbelievable that this is all happening. Just the generosity of all the fans, the Ice and Deric Yaussi has been incredible."
