Helping Kids In The Inner City With An Olympic Hero

Last summer I had the pleasure of doing something very special for a group of children at a local elementary school in the Bronx as part of The Hook-Up.

I was joined by Olympic champion and track and field icon Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Modell’s Sporting Goods to hook-up the kids in their track and field program with gear and also a very special clinic with Jackie.

This is one of my favorite moments of the year. This time of the year I like to set a goal for 2017. One of those goals is to complete remaking this school's track.

This is a day that I will remember forever. Having an opportunity to light-up a young child’s face and give them a memory that will last a lifetime is one of the most special I can think of and it’s a feeling that never gets old. Watch it all happen:

  • I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

  • A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I believe that you
    ought to write more on this subject matter, it may not
    be a taboo matter but generally folks don’t discuss these subjects.
    To the next! Best wishes!! fotballdrakter BillAugus maglie calcio a
