nycdan Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Great story. I'm going to be sad for a while but good for RW. When just showing up can bring comfort like that, it's a blessing to be able to do it.So it's okay if our linebackers help Wilson up after a sack now?

Villain The Foe Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Cant wait for all the decades of annual Cancer marathon runs, donations and pink socks in october to finally get these smart researchers to find a cure so we no longer have to see stuff like this.

Fibonacci Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 As a person who lost loved ones to cancer, this story brought tears to my eyes. Don't know anything about RW but if he is doing these kind of things regularly, he is my guy from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, how about finding a cause (for the increase in cancer)? Major respect for RW for doing that btw. Hopefully for every Michael Vick, Ray Lewis, etc, there are guys like that in the NFL (and all sports). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
