A few hours after the Bears' offseason program concludes next Thursday, outside linebacker Sam Acho will hop on a plane and head to Nigeria.
It's a trip that Acho has made virtually every year since he first went as a 12-year-old. It's part of an annual two-week medical mission coordinated by Living Hope Christian Ministries, a non-profit organization that Acho's parents have operated since 1989.
Dr. Sonny Acho and Christy Acho have been returning to their native Nigeria each of the past 27 years with doctors and nurses to provide free medical care.
