DeAngelo Williams Pays for 500 Mammograms After Mom Dies of Breast Cancer
Five years may have passed since DeAngelo Williams lost his mother to breast cancer, but the former NFL player is still committed to fighting against the disease.
Since he began the initiative in 2014, DeAngelo and his foundation have paid for a total of 500 mammograms at hospitals in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Memphis, Tennessee; Jonesboro, Arkansas; and Charlotte, North Carolina, according to Today. Shortly after his mother’s death in 2014, while DeAngelo was playing for the Carolina Panthers, the athlete launched the “53 Strong for Sandra” program — a North Carolina-based event where his foundation partnered with Charlotte Radiology and Levine Cancer Institute to provide free mammograms and follow-up care to 53 women in the area.
By 2015, DeAngelo revealed that his event had extended to Pittsburgh and Memphis. That same year, DeAngelo signed a two-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
