Tristan wrote on the official “Amari Thompson Fund” Facebook page, “My brother Amari who suffers from the neurological disorder Epilepsy, has always been the greatest motivational force in my life. As a result, I have worked diligently in my career and am so grateful because it has enabled me to get Amari the best medical treatment available, while at the same time providing for my family. Unfortunately, not every family dealing with Epilepsy has had my good fortune, so it is for this reason that I have decided to create the Amari Thompson Fund. - Tristan Thompson.”
