Jarvis Landry and Anthony Johnson visit cancer patient in hospital

We always hear about the bad things college athletes do. I don't post much on here, but thought this was worth posting. These two young men made my son's day yesterday when they visited him at a chemo treatment. Not a first visit either, this one just made the news (WBRZ). It was the hospital's idea to call the news, not either one of the young men. They didn't do it for the publicity. Took him to lunch and hung out with him for a couple of hours. Several players from the team have gone above and beyond to make this journey special for him. Story begins around 27:25 of newscast. LINK /

Prayers to you, your son and your family.
Children should never have go through cancer, but unfortunately, cancer doesn't care what age you are.

it's amazing that these athletes from the time they are freshmen adjusting to campus life until when they leave find the time between practice, games, weight training, classes, etc. to do service in the community.

Yep, really special of them. Unfortunately, Parker has had numerous extended stays in the hospital. He's been visited multiple times by several LSU players. They've given him shirts or other items they've earned from team for special plays, etc. He has phone numbers and gets insta grams from them on a regular basis. Can't thank these young men enough for helping Parker through this process.

Great story. Gotta love the two Tigers giving back. Will keep praying for Parker! Hey 1985 Tiger, congrats on becoming a grandpop!

Thanks for sharing the video. I pray your son makes a full recovery. Love seeing the kids faces light up when the players walk in.
My best friend died of cancer at 22 and several Saints players would visit. Joe Horn even came out to my friend's house and attended his funeral. Really made my friend feel good during a terrible time.

Athletes for some reason are very compassionate in these situations. Parker has met numerous professional athletes at St. Jude in Memphis, as well as Ole Miss baseball players, LSU women's tennis team, signed baseballs and jerseys sent by many professional ballplayers, etc. Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.

Thanks for this story and you and yours, keep your heads up.
These are two guys that I already knew liked to do stuff like that. It's great to take time out and do something good and make someone else feel special you know.
