When being recruited to play college sports, often coaches will tell you that you are coming to their University to become part of their family, and that means making sacrifices for one another. Tom Walter, the baseball coach for Wake Forest University made this promise quite apparent.
Kevin Jordan was a freshman outfielder for Wake Forest when he found out the terrible news that he needed a kidney transplant. He was diagnosed with ANCA vasculitis which left his kidneys functioning at 8 percent. Kevin’s family was tested and no one was found to be a match for the transplant.
That’s when Coach Walter took initiative upon himself to get tested. Coach Walter found out he was a match and told his team and family that he would donate the kidney to his player. The operation went well and both men are expected to make full recoveries.
Have a great day, and let the Good News be yours,

Six year old Breanna was sad that she could not marry her favorite football player, J.J. Watt because she was not 25 years old yet.
That didn't stop NFL defensive player of the year, J.J. Watt, from making her day! After her sad/hilarious video went viral, J.J. Watt surprised her by getting down on one knee and giving her a ring pop :) Oh and he also gave her a nice Jersey.
And that's what's good,

All seemed lost to Chris Fevurly and his son Nolan after burglars stole their collection of Ken Griffey Jr. baseball cards and their electronics. Fortunately good people came together and made all the difference.
Their friends and neighbors created fundraisers to get them a new big-screen TV and helped replace some of their baseball cards. The greatest gift of all came when the man, the myth, the legend, Ken Griffey Jr. himself called them on the phone!
How'd it go down? Chris and Nolan received free court side seats to the Wichita State basketball game. During the game, another icon, Roberto Clemente Jr. walked up to them with an autographed picture of Ken Griffey Jr. along with a phone call from the man himself.
They may have lost some "stuff", but they now have some amazing memories and new merchandise from friends and family. Great news!
And that's what's good,
Jon
