NFL Football Star to Lead AIDS Walk

It’s very refreshing to see someone of this NFL caliber standing up for a cause without being afraid of what people ‘might think’. Clay Matthews, NFL star linebacker for the Super Bowl Champions Green Bay Packers is doing just that. This Saturday he’ll be leading the charge against HIV & AIDS as the honorary chairman of the 22nd annual AIDS Walk Wisconsin at the Milwaukee Summerfest Grounds.
“This is something I’m passionate about, helping others. Just like they’ve helped me along all my life,” Matthews said. “It’s really an honor for them to come to me … Hopefully we can do a good job and raise money and bring awareness especially to the younger generation of this epidemic in hopes that we’re getting closer to a cure.”
Matthews said helping the community is an important part of his life, and his rising stardom has enabled him to support more causes. “I’m putting my face to this and standing up for what I believe, and hopefully people will come with me and help out with this great cause,” Matthews said.
It’s so nice to see this kind of selfless story when so many super athletes makes millions & only do something that benefits them. We salute you Clay from all the AIDS Service Organizations who struggle with fundraisers, Government budget cutbacks or stereotyping.
