Jason Pierre-Paul announced that he is donating $20,000 to the New York Presbyterian Hospital. JPP was injured and treated in South Florida, but I can’t imagine he is jumping on any opportunity to help out the place that allowed his medical records to be leaked. Quotes via CBS Sports:
“As I was sitting in the hospital on July 5, there were a lot of burn (victims) in there. And I was one of them,” Pierre-Paul said. “And just walking through the hospital, I saw a lot of burn people. People that lost hands, people that lost legs, due to fireworks incidents or whatever. And it just made me think, every time I look at my hand, it just made me think about the burn center.”
JPP has done all the right things since coming back from his unfortunate accident. No matter if he is an NFL player, mistakes are made and sometimes the only thing you can do is make all the right decisions going forward.
