Cam Newton helps young cancer patient get his wish
quote:
While he was battling the cancer, George became involved in the Make-A-Wish Foundation, an organization that arranges for children with life-threatening illnesses to have their wishes come true. George's wish was to become a Carolina Panther and play with Newton, who won the 2010 Heisman Trophy at Auburn.
Clayton Gring, George's father, said football became a way to turn his son's attention away from the pain of his illness and its treatment.
"Football became a really big distraction for him," Clayton Gring said, "and he would watch football highlights. He latched onto the Panthers, and as he started watching, he gravitated toward Cam Newton. It became a full-on obsession. It was amazing how in-tune he became with the team."
On Tuesday, Newton was waiting for George with a pair of gold cleats he special-ordered from Under Armour so they'd have matching shoes for practice.
"You know, as a quarterback, we always got to stay swagged up," Newton said to George, whose locker was between those of Newton and his backup, Derek Anderson.
quote:
"Anytime you get a chance to give back and make somebody's day, I'm all for it," Newton said. "That's everybody's dream. He lightened my day up. With this being a monotonous process with me coming out and pretty much doing nothing, I was excited today because of my man G-Squared."
Gring's signing bonus was a large jar filled with Kit-Kats and Skittles. Rivera issued No. 2 to Gring because "we've already got a quarterback with No. 1."

No every other team has thugs who could not care less about charity or helping the community. Auburn has the market cornered on caring players and likes to point it out numerous times a week.
