Two US Football Stars Announce To Donate Brains For Medical Research
04 March, New York
Two American Football stars say they will donate their brains for medical research after their deaths.
New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford and former Seattle Seahawks receiver Sidney Rice want to support studies into brain injuries.
Many former players in the sport suffer degenerative brain disease. Around 4,500 former players are suing the National Football League over head injuries suffered during their careers.
The pair made a joint announcement to coincide with Brain Injury Awareness Month in the US.
