Her grandson's name was Wayne Ford and he passed in February of 2015 ( https://www.facebook.com/wayne.ford.3382 ). I believe he was 13. I think that would have been Marvin Lewis who called the boy.

I wish I had known at that time, especially since it is out here on my turf in AZ. I had no idea.

We have a lot folks here with big and good hearts who like help out as they can when they hear about sick children. If you ever hear of any young Bengals fans who are facing serious or terminal medical conditions, drop a line here and the Bengal Brotherhood will see what can be done to at least bring a little joy into their lives.

I believe Marvin has been an AZ resident for a decade or more, so I wonder if that played about in him learning about the boy.

Nonetheless, that was a wonderful thing to hear that he had done, and kudos to your notion of bringing these types of situations to everyone's attention to see how we can make an impact for them.
