Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen and his foundation, the HEARTest Yard, will hold its inaugural 5-kilometer run on May 21 to raise money and awareness for infant congenital heart disease and disorder.
Since the Super Bowl, Olsen has done some traveling, taken in basketball games, taped a Comedy Central show and helped families with children battling various heart defects and disease.
Olsen’s son T.J. was born in 2012 with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), and the HEARTest Yard fund helps the Levine Children’s Hospital and families with expenses.
In a 15-minute interview, the Pro Bowl tight end talked to the Observer about his offseason activities, the foundation’s 5k and the 2016 NFL season.
