I am proud of every American Olympian who worked so hard and made us proud by winning gold. silver and bronze medals at the Olympics. but I believe what Mr. Cheek did is worthy of special recognition and celebration. he set an example. a standard for the people of America. He is one person who made a huge difference to children. many of whom are orphans. victims of genocide by the government of Sudan in Khartoum. Joey Cheek told the media that he wants to help Darfur refugee children to live but he also hopes they will be able to learn and play sports. If more citizens would follow Mr. Cheeks example. his vision of the children of Darfur being children not victims. would not be out of reach.
