Wochit

Former NFL football player Todd Heap and his wife, Ashley, are asking for the public to join them in turning their tragedy into a way to spread joy while honoring Heap's daughter, Holly.

They have designated Wednesday, May 3, as "Hugs From Holly Day."

A website created for the day explains that May 3 would have been Holly Heap's 4th birthday.

She died April 14, after she was accidentally struck by a truck driven by Heap in the driveway of their northeast Mesa home, according to police.
