Chad Greenway Keeps Doing Things The Right Way

This is the slowest period within the NFL calendar, but that doesn’t mean Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway is taking any breaks from being an awesome philanthropist.
Appearing on the Purple For The Win! Podcast on Tuesday, Greenway alluded to plans for creating a very special day for young Harley Carnes and his family this week, and he certainly followed through in a big, big way.
Harley was only given a five percent chance of living after being involved in a horrible car accident just one day prior to his ninth birthday. He beat those odds, but is now paralyzed from the neck down, and life will certainly be far more challenging as a result.
Greenway presented a handicap accessible van to the Carnes family on the final day of his youth football camp which was not only an incredibly generous gesture, but also a way of inspiring the next generation to follow his lead by putting the needs of others ahead their own.
“Our camp mantra is appreciation, and I just think that really ties into what we’re trying to teach these kids at the camp,” Greenway said of the presentation.
For more information on the hardship facing Harley and his family you can visit their Facebook Page and you can go to their GoFundMe Page to help.
