Former Steelers RB DeAngelo Williams sponsors 500 mammograms to honor mom who died of breast cancer.
Williams began sponsoring the free mammogram screening in honor of his mother through the"53 Strong for Sandra" program. At each event, the foundation sponsors mammograms for 53 women. The foundation eventually hopes to host a free mammogram screening event in every state.
"To be able to help all these women is amazing. This can be life-changing for these women," Williams said in a statement to TODAY recently."We are enabling them to get this care that no one should ever be denied or not have access to." "DeAngelo wants to ensure that no woman fights breast cancer alone," Risalyn Williams, his wife and executive director of The DeAngelo Williams Foundation, told TODAY via email.Williams was key in leading a push in 2009 to allow NFL players to wear pink cleats throughout October, Breast Cancer Awareness month. At the time football fans were treated to fields of pink — pink headphones, pink cleats and pink pom poms — during October breast cancer awareness month.
