Now a days every professional sports league has a program in which they give back to society. It is a very nice gesture but I often ponder the motive of these programs. Are these programs designed to actually give back to the people who need it most or is it just to make the league and teams look good in the eyes of the public? While ticket sales might be the reason for the teams funding them I believe that the players really feel that it is their duty to give back to society.
Miami Heat superstar Dwayne Wade showed what caring and giving back can really do to help someone in need. The following clip is of a 10 year old boy named Michael Stolzenberg whom my brother knew. Over the summer Mickey contracted a rare and potentially fatal virus. In order to survive doctors were forced to Mickey's hands and feet. This video will show what a professional athlete can give to a kid that has had so much taken from him.
