Yeah, I remember him. Good on him for continuing to give back. The writer's right, the world would be a better place if more prominent people used their celebrity for good causes. Yes, Hollywood types are mocked for being UNICEF spokespeople (Audrey Hepburn, Angelina Jolie, etc) and such, but I'd rather see them hock world peace than perfume or a clothing line.

Ditto.

Awww, I remember Joey Cheek! He was adorable. It's good to know he's using his adorability for such a worthy cause.

Isn't it? I just adore him!

Bravo to him! In this world where "sports hero" is a tarnished image at best, it's nice to see someone trying to reverse the trend.

I hope his organization succeeds.

Me too! Oh, this article made me so happy. I mean, the good news is tarnished by the bad, but still. Oh, Joey.
