Vikings’ Greenway Honors His Dad On First Father’s Day Without Him

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – You won’t find many athletes more involved in the community than Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway.

His charity work through his “Lead the Way” Foundation earned Greenway the NFL Players Association’s highest honor for community service this year.

He was back at it again Sunday morning, hosting his 9th annual Fathers Day 5K, the “Gridiron Gallop” at Lake Nokomis.

The “Gridiron Gallop” raises money for Minneapolis Parks and Rec athletic programs.

Greenway is the proud father of three girls, and this is his first Fathers Day without his father, Alan, who passed away in December after a long battle with leukemia.
