Lions linebacker, Zack Follet, doesn't just want to help the Detroit Lions win games, he wants you to get off your butt and help him support a couple causes.

He recently spent time with wildlife lions that's part of this cause:

Project Survival, Cat Conservation Group, is dedicated to helping researchers and conservationists in their efforts to study and protect wild cats. Its goal is to engage the support of like-minded individuals, though education, and channel it directly to specific projects. While focusing on North, Central and South America, Project Survival intends to assist individuals around the world. .

But his time with the lions opened his eyes to things around the villages, as well:

But it wasn’t just the animals they were helping that tugged at my heart.  The kids in the villages they stay in while back in Africa  have very little.  They told me how when they see a pencil there eyes light up with joy so they can write instead of using sticks in the ground or how they have no kind of basketballs, footballs, or soccer balls to play with and use tied up plastic bags to kick around as a soccer ball. WOW! We are truly blessed to be living in this great country of America and how we take advantage of the things we have.

I’m not all trying to make this a sob story or make u feel guilty for what we have so that you donate money. But lets be serious we can at least send 5,10,20 bucks to help get these kids some balls to play with to help pass the time in their day.

I didn’t set any set prices of what to donate feel free to donate whatever you please.  Thank you again for your generosity and I can insure you the money you donate goes right to the cause and no 3rd party is going to take their cut!

God Bless

Zack Follett

But seriously, if you don't donate, Zack Follett will hunt you down like this:
