My wife works with Kyle's aunt (bottom right in the family pic). Very cool of Locker to do this...I can't imagine how hard it is to see kids like that and know they likely are going to be dead soon. I may be a hard-hearted SOB 99% of the time, but kids suffering just kills me. Keep a good thought for Kyle if you can find the time.

That's cool. Let's hope success doesn't turn him into the type of guy who forgets about these kinds of things.

Damn it, I'm usually so cynical about athletes the only thing I could think of to say was "who told the reporters and made it into a photo op?"

Still, the guy is doing a good thing.

For me, my cynicism gets asked 'Do you really think the boy with the tumour gives a fuck about it being a photoshoot and PR event also ?'

At that point, my cynicism shuts the fuck up.
