While media can expose the wildly shocking selfish choices of the rich and famous, many celebrities open their hearts and wallets to children all over the world.
My Cause My Cleats is an NFL inspired program through Nike that highlights the charities and causes associated with individual teams.Las Vegas Raiders collaborate on special cleats for critically and chronically ill children. The Raiders are teaming up with actual patients to design their cleats. The latest cleats were showcased in last Sunday's game.
Raider’s linebacker Elandon Roberts paired up with Issak Gavin-Oddieo who is battling Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive bone cancer.
Raider’s President Sandra Douglass Morgan shared in the experience by sitting side-by-side with 7-year-old cancer patient Evelyn Lackey. Lackey contributed dragons and hearts to the design. "This is about giving our kids hope, healing, and a future they can grow into," Sandra Douglass Morgan said.
After the game, an auction sells the shoes and all proceeds go to the various charities.
Kate Middleton, from a whole different circle of influence has been actively involved in organizations supporting youth recovering from addictions.
Middleton's latest visit to children’s mental health facility Anne Freud on Nov 27 initiated her new project calling for awareness and action in her crusade for foundational relationships benefitting the welfare of children.
The world can feel like a bitter and lonely place when witnessing the suffering, pain and anguish of any childhood trauma. Programs like these are reaching out through hospitals, doctors and care facilities. Ask your health specialists about programs available to you.
