Yep, I agree the whole 'visit sick kids' thing is awesome. Good PR and everything, yeh sure, but they're still actually doing it. They could just send a signed photo or something ("dear sick kid, love famous person") but nope, they actually go out and do it themselves.
That's something I love about my boy Mell. He's really into the sick babies and stuff ward thing at Newcastle hospital, and he's great with kids (ill and unill too).
Because I've not rambled bout him for ages, here I shall (I know it's the wrong footy, but meh!)
OK, first is a non-sick kid. He went to the training ground and wanted Mell's autograph (coz Mell rocks and obviously this kid had some sense lol). Mell did better than that though, he took the kid off to his car (LOL this gets less dodgy I promise you...) and gave him a pair of his footy boots!!!!!!!
Second is a very ill kid. He'd had 3 kidney transplants... but obviously they kept failing. Mell was his hero. Mell went to visit him lots. And got him tickets to games. And dedicated goals to him. He was awesome with him. The kid died a year or so ago....... but just think how great my Melly made the last bit of his life, despite all the pain/dyingness....
Some people rock. Mell's one of them. Tredders and (of course) Stuey are some others.
