What is your proposed G Movement athletic challenge?
I was in the NBA Draft 2006. My goal is to be a professional athlete. I played in Dubai for 3 years; I also played in Germany. Spring 2009 I was in the NFL draft @ BC pro-day with Miles Craigwell, BJ Raji and Nikosi Sill. Being a huge role model for these children out here is a great asset to life that's a way of giving back...
Why do you think it is important to bring attention to the issues of global hunger? Why were you motivated to participate in G Movement?
Honestly traveling across the world I've seen children in starvation, and its not a good scene for me at all. If I can join the G Movement to change these kids lives and be able to put food in their belly and make sure they get some type of health care, I will do it. I have a 2-year-old son so I know what its like to be a dad...
How would a $2,000 grant enable you to complete your challenge?
$2,000 would help me get my movement off the ground in my community, making sure they understand the cause of hunger and teaching them to understand that they just don't know how good they got it, so appreciate what God has blessed you with. Now let's go give to the people who don't have anything. This $2,000 is going to help me rise to the occasion so we can make a huge foundation for the people who can't afford it.
