[scrock]

"NFL linebacker Ray Lewis is helping a 10-year-old New York boy whose mother drowned herself and three children by driving a van into the Hudson River.

The surviving child, La’Shaun Armstrong, was to attend a Manhattan fundraiser of the United Athletes Foundation on Saturday night. Some of the proceeds will go to him, including scholarship money.

The Baltimore Ravens star says he reached out to the child as soon as he heard about the April 12 tragedy. The boy escaped through a van window after the car plunged into the water in Newburgh, N.Y., and was rescued by a passing driver."

Extremely sad story. Father in jail, mother dead... Ray Lewis is a great charity man.

“Nobody is supposed to walk through life alone with that, especially being 10 years old,” said Lewis, who is vice chairman of the United Athletes Foundation.

“I don’t want to come into his life for a phase,” Lewis said. “I want to be in his life forever.”[/quote]

Thats why Ray is one of a kind. Thats what being a raven is all about

[RL52TheGreatest]

Just another example of the great person he is off the field. Unfortunately, there are still many people out there who will choose to ignore this and the countless other things he has done to help people because he's a so-called "murderer".

The Man. The Myth. The Legend.
