Great Play: NFL Rookie Makes Girl's Day

-
Chicago Bears rookie J.T. Thomas showed true gentleman qualities when he escorted a girl with spina bifida to her school dance. Thomas heard about Joselyn Levell being turned down by numerous invitations through the school’s bus driver, so he decided he would take her himself. What could have been a little awkward - a 22 year-old taking a 14 year-old to her dance - instead is an inspiring story of a man with a good heart and great intentions.

You see, Thomas's own brother Jared has autism so he understands.

Great Play J.T., even if you are a Bear.

It's a great foundation, it has been successful and is highly rated for its impact. But, one thing I see with the movement is that while they speak about men's health to the participants, I feel the participants themselves promote it outwardly rather than inward, at them. I personally fell victim to that selfsame issue, but no longer. As of this November, I am taking care of myself.
