Great article. Nothing else to be said really. Could you imagine what the kids parents must be thinking as Mark Sanchez shows up at their door and waits for him to wake up?
I don't like Sanchez. That's a great story though. I'm glad he's the quarterback of my favorite team for years to come. The play breakdown by Mayock on NFL Network, when he said something like "This is an example of a good quarterback becoming a franchise quarterback." was gold.
Just read this. What a great story. Man.....this.......just makes you feel good, you know? Not sure what else to say.
Mark is quite a young man, his parents should be proud of the job they did raising him. An God bless the parents of this young man as he goes thru his struggles. There is no greater pain in the world worst then then watching a child suffer and know there is nothing you can do to stop it.
unbelievable story. There needs to be more stories like this about professional athletes rather than the negative crap.
You people are the reason the Philly/Minn game got moved to Tuesday. Ed Rendell says hello...................
Mark Sanchez loses a young friend Very Sad!!!! It Hits home for me on two accounts: 1) As a father of two boys, I could hardly imagine the pain this family is suffering. 2) Aidan was from my hometown of Floral Park, I still have many friends back home. RIP my young Jet fan!!! Story: Moment of Silence Sunday for a Friend of Mark’s Posted by Randy Lange on December 31, 2010 – 4:25 pm Many Jets fans read about Mark Sanchez and the Jets and their reaching out to 11-year-old Aidan Binkley from Queens, N.Y., after their loss to the Dolphins. If you hadn’t seen it, you can click here to read Ron Borges’ story in Pro Football Weekly. Aidan was suffering from a rare form of cancer. Through the foundation of Teddy Atlas (a former Jets special assistant under Eric Mangini, fans will remember), he had two wishes: that his two brothers would be OK and that he could meet Mark Sanchez. The Jets took care of Wish No. 2. Aidan, his mother, father and two brothers visited the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center on Dec. 15, and after practice Rex Ryan, Mike DeVito, Dustin Keller, Rob Turner, Matt Mulligan, John Conner and Antonio Cromartie all came to owner Woody Johnson’s second-floor office to visit. Then Sanchez came up to spend time with Aidan. They talked, exchanged phone numbers and email addresses, and the Jets QB signed a jersey for Aidan. After the win over the Steelers, the team sent Binkley a gameball. It is our sad duty today to report that Aidan Binkley passed away Thursday. There will be a moment of silence for him before the Jets’ final regular-season game against the Bills on Sunday at New Meadowlands Stadium.
