New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre Paul knows the feeling of losing a finger and having two other fingers amputated in a July 4th fireworks accident.
JPP has since returned to field and Tuesday night shared his experience by FaceTiming an 11 year old boy named Seamus who had 2 fingers amputated when getting them caught in a bike chain.
Seamus’s sister Janie reached out to Pierre-Paul via Twitter with this memo.

Pierre-Paul has learned from his experience and sharing that with Seamus was a kind act that should motivate him to embrace his new challenge.
