BOULDER, Colo. — Former Colorado wide receiver and Olympic freestyle skier Jeremy Bloom has made it his mission to fulfill as many wishes as possible for older adults through his foundation. The list of granted wishes range from taking veterans back to Normandy to helping wannabe authors publish a book. He's staged concerts for musicians, assisted some in daredevil feats such as jumping out of an airplane and even lined up a meeting between an Olympic athlete and former President Barack Obama. Last weekend, he brought a 72-year lifelong Colorado fan in end-stage kidney failure back to Folsom Field for his first visit since 2004.
