After recovering from the coronavirus, Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller has started a fundraising campaign to help “sack” COVID-19.
“What we have seen over the past two months is unprecedented,” Miller says in a video posted on his foundation’s Twitter page. “The coronavirus has affected everyone in some way. I have spent the past few weeks social distancing as I recovered from the virus myself.
“But there are thousands of kids in my home states of Colorado and Texas who are unable to get daily meals because schools are closed for the foreseeable future. In fact, one in seven kids already live with hunger. To help these kids out, I’m launching the ‘Von Sacks COVID’ campaign. With your help, we will achieve our goal of providing 5,800 meals to students in need. To support my campaign, please visit vonsackscovid.org today.”
Miller tested positive for the coronavirus in mid-April and tested negative two weeks later. He is the only current member of the Broncos’ organization to have had a known case of COVID-19.
