The lady responsible for players to wear Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness has passed
Today DeAngelo Williams the running back of the Carolina Panthers lost his mother Sandra Hill. Sandra was the reason the NFL allowed teams to wear pink for breast cancer awareness, which has really turned into an amazing support group. She was doing fine, but according to Adam Schefter, her cancer returned two weeks ago.
