Ryan Hall Gives Back

Found this article here and was really impressed. Ryan Hall will run NYC Marathon and give all the money he receives from appearance fees and then prize money to his brand new charity, The Steps Foundation. I don't know how much that will affect the guy or if it changes anything, yet even if he can still live the way he does, giving away that much money is pretty big. You might not need the brand new car but you sure as hell want it. Plus he and his wife are runners. Careers are short and could end suddenly with a string of injuries. Putting that money away for a rainy day would not be laughed at. Him and his wife through have decided to give it back to make a change. That says something. Actions always speak louder than words.
