Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright has always suspected that as a professional athlete in the United States, he has it pretty good.
But just how good came into clearer focus during a trip to Africa last summer, one that also instilled in Wright a desire to want to do something to help some of the people he met along the way.
That led to Wright’s announcement this week that he plans to donate $300 for every tackle he makes this season to help build two water wells in Kenya (Wright also announced the initiative on his Facebook page).
