Vikings Fans donate $84k and counting in recognition of sportsmanship of injured player who stayed on field for final play after losing the game

Thomas Morstead (the injured player mentioned)'s charity, What you give will grow, has committed to passing on all donations collected from this campaign to The Minnesota Children's Hospital.

Since the account has reached over 100K Morstead will be flying to Minnesota to personally deliver the check.

Thomas Morstead (#6) is the punter for the New Orleans Saints (the team the Vikings won against last Sunday - where he suffered a painful injury to the ribs).
This makes everyone's efforts that much more special. Vikings fans are donating to a rivals team's punter's charity (which they didn't have to) and then he turns around and gives the money right back to a local Minnesota Children's Hospital (which he didn't have to do).
Class acts all around!
