Through My Eyes: Dekoda Watson explains the significance of My Cleats, My Cause

Related Topics: Dekoda Watson, Cleat (shoe)

Today, when I’m sitting at my locker in Jacksonville, lacing up my cleats before running out on the field as a member of the Denver Broncos, I’ll be thinking about all the kids back in Aiken, South Carolina — my hometown.

The NFL is supporting the My Cleats, My Cause initiative this week, allowing players to wear special, customized cleats in support of a charity of their choosing. On Sunday, I’ll be representing my foundation, Koda’s Kids.

I started my foundation seven years ago because I’ve always had a soft heart for kids. A main reason for this was being able to see where I came from.
