Former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Hurts hasn t been with the Philadelphia Eagles long, but the Texas-born athlete is already making and impact on the community.
Hurts reportedly reached out to Alex s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) to see if he could get involved with the organization. The pediatric cancer charity introduced the rookie NFL quarterback to the family of 7-year-old Erick, an Eagles fan battling a form of cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma.
After learning that Erick and his four younger siblings were living in a two-bedroom trailer, in Nottingham, Pennsylvania, Hurts became determined to do what he could to improve their situation.
