This January, Nicklaus Children's Hospital welcomed former Super Bowl champ and Houston Texan's cornerback Kayvon Webster to its Michael Fux Family Center. Originally from Miami, Kayvon handed out toys to patients and autographed footballs for the kids to take home. He finished off his afternoon at the hospital by spending time with several oncology patients, decorating hats and sharing his own hospital experiences with them.
On his Instagram page, Kayvon wrote about his visit, "Very thankful that I could be able to provide not only a gift but good smiles and energy of uplifting them to getting well!"
