DeAngelo Williams Has Paid For 500
Mammograms in Honor of Late Mother.
Since 2015, former NFL player DeAngelo Williams
has been covering the cost of mammograms
for women across the United States.
His commitment to fighting
breast cancer is in honor of his
late mother, Sandra Hill.
She tragically passed away from
the disease in 2014 at age 53.
Through his nonprofit organization, The
DeAngelo Williams Foundation, Williams
hosts “53 Strong for Sandra” events. .
At each event, the foundation
sponsors mammograms for 53 women.
According to 'Today,' that has added up to
a total of 500 sponsored mammograms.
To be able to help all these women is amazing.
This can be life-changing for these women …
We are enabling them to get this care that no
one should ever be denied or not have access to, DeAngelo Williams, via ‘People’.
The foundation hopes to eventually host
free mammogram events in every state. .
DeAngelo wants to ensure that no woman
(or man) fights breast cancer alone, Risalyn Williams, via ‘Today’
