Helping hand

Since I've used this forum to occasionally criticize Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick when he does something wrong, I think it’s important to note when he does something right.
Vick is donating $10,000 to assist families affected by the massacre at Virginia Tech, where he played college football. The Vick Foundation is also soliciting donations in Atlanta and some Virginia cities for the ''United in Caring Fund for Victims of the VA Tech Tragedy.'' Vick's foundation works in conjunction with the United Way.
According to information provided by the Vick Foundation, Vick's donation and other charitable contributions will be used to help victims' families with funeral services, transportation expenses and other support services.
‘‘When tragic things like this happen, families have enough to deal with, and if I can help in some small way, that's the least I can do,’’ Vick told the Associated Press.
Hopefully, more NFL players will follow Vick’s lead.
