Matt Mauser, whose basketball coach wife Christina Mauser died with Bryant and his daughter Gianna, wants to show his family how he can pick himself up after experiencing a devastating loss. “Sometimes life presents you with opportunities. Even amidst your darkest days. And this is one that I took. I auditioned for this show to hopefully raise awareness for the #ChristinaMauserFoundation, and to show my kids that you have to pick yourself up and keep going,” Matt Mauser wrote on Instagram.
