Great story - Bears rookie J.T. Thomas takes young lady with spina bifida to eighth-grade dance
I don;t follow sports news, but this story caught my eye on yahoo's homepage today. A real stand up fella, this guy.

This is awesome. I hate athletes and the special treatment they get, but this is one case where I'll make an exception. That guy is A-OK in my book.

That's really cool.I wish more athletes and celebrities would understand how so little from them can mean so much to another person...and use their
"star" power in ways like this more often. Good for him.

Good story.
Such a crappy disease. My man's son's mom has what I understand to be a severe case. Don't know much execpt the basics on it, but a very shitty hand
to be dealt in life.

This actually nearly made me cry, so sweet. So many more people in a position to make a difference should do stuff like that.

It's nice to see some positive news for once. Dude is deserving of all good comments. He did something nice for that girl, with nothing to gain for
himself.
