This is one of the most impressive, heartfelt stories I have read in a very long time and on Yahoo! too. The world needs more people like Jon Kitna wanting to use their money and influence to help disadvantaged and trouble students. Sport is full of far too much arrogance and materialism and by the sounds of it Jon had his fair share of typical athlete behaviour in the early days but woke up to himself.


Very good story that is well written. Interesting path that Kitna decided on when he could have gone one thousand other ways that were far easier. I am certain I would not have made the same type of choice. Once again, great article.


good guy, good story.
