Appreciate those who make it to the top and remain grounded in this way.

CNN: Andrew Whitworth [...] Spreads the Wealth

"They're behind a still unspooling list of good deeds that range from small to massive, including writing a check for $250,000 to the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank [...]

Among the highlights of the Whitworths' generosity:

*600 bicycles to children at a school in a low-income LA neighborhood;

*$215,000 for the players' social justice fund;

*$400,000 for scholarships and school supplies for Louisiana schoolchildren;

*Christmas dinner and gifts for 53 families living in hotels and shelters; and

*helping raise $875,000 to grant wishes for children battling terminal illness."

I remember reading on TD several years ago when a young HS football player in the Monroe area died during practice. Whitworth paid for the kids funeral, as the family of the boy didn’t have much money. He did it in secret not wanting credit.

He’s a great man. Glad he gets to end his career in the super bowl. Glad he’s getting some media attention, that’s not easy for an OL.
