"A real alarming statistic that just blew me away is that 11 people a day die from asthma,” Woods said. “And I was like, wow, you know, I mean 11 people a day are dying, and no one's doing anything?”
Think about this for a moment: You're 16 years old, about to earn your driver's license. Suddenly, without much warning, your body betrays you. It's all over. Three days after suffering an asthma attack in his home, Elbert Jovante Woods, Ickey's son, passed away at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. He was only 16. The Bengals, who hosted Denver in a preseason game that weekend, remembered Woods with a moment of silence.
