You hear about teammates having each other's backs, but here's a story about one who had not only his former teammate's back but also his kidney.
Ron Springs, a former running back for the Dallas Cowboys, needed a kidney transplant. His son, Shaun Springs, is currently a defensive back for the Washington Redskins and offered to give his father a kidney. Not wanting to jeapordize Shaun's career, Ron turned him down.
That's when Everson Walls, a former defensive back for the Cowboys and teammate of Ron Springs, stepped up and offered one of his. Springs accepted the offer and the surgery was completed today. Please join me in praying for the health of both men, especially Springs.
