Every Tuesday during the NFL season, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson visits Seattle Children's Hospital on his off day and meets with patients.
Today, in an article for The Players' Tribune, Wilson told the story of one particular patient, Milton Wright, whose fight with cancer has inspired him:
Milton played football in high school. Then he became a model. One day, he woke up and could barely move. He went to the hospital for some tests, and the results weren’t good. Milton had an advanced form of leukemia.
At 19 years old.
