Originally posted by NannySlayer View PostTanner and Shane were exchanging Raven during the weekend. Raven went to jump in Shanes arms and he throws her up like he has done every time for the past 5 years... he threw her back and there was no way he could catch her. She landed on her head.

touching video about former NFL WR Chris Henry whose tragic accident in 2009 saved many lives. I saw Chris play several HS FB games as he was a special talent. His Mom travels around the State and Country sharing this story to educate others on organ donation.
