Gronks kindness cannot be mesured. He is an inspiration.
@davidsandlin9686 6 років тому
Kids pretty tough. Gronks a great guy for going out of his way and making this kids life a little better. A lot of people won’t even take five minutes out of their day to say high to someone they pass on the streets.

I am a die-hard Steelers fan and this story brought me to tears I do love the Patriots I know a lot of people say how can you love the Steelers and love the Patriots but I'll look at the Patriots locker room and there is no turmoil nobody wants to cause trouble like our locker room with the Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell. I truly believe that Tom Brady is the goat and I love this video because Rob Gronk Gronkowski.

Still watching this video to this day, I remember what happened to Robbie, he was in my 5th grade class at veterans memorial in naples Florida. Such a smart athletic kid, we now go to the same high school, he’s still the same great kid he was in 5th grade

@davino108 2 роки тому
Gronk is the real deal! Always gives his undivided attention to these charities and organizations.. takes the time out of his schedule and puts them first over himself and most important he gives back.. that definitely says a lot about his character..I think one thing about Gronk is he doesn't take things too seriously he just goes with the flow.. what an inspiration to everyone out there.. whether you like him or you don't or if you're not a patriot fan or if you are he is one class humanitarian..
@joshuaprevost7332 11 місяців тому
There’s been times where I’m sure all of us have wanted to give up but then there’s certain things that make us realize life is worth it. This is one of them.

Everyone who hates the NFL should watch these videos. No matter what team you root for, what city you're from, what color you are, who you voted for...we're all sitting down together on Sunday having fun. Football brings us together. That's what America is all about, Charlie Brown.

Gronk is a powerhouse who brings more attention to researching how to stop seizures; especially what this brave kid has endured in his life. I have had eleven of these super intense seizures...unable to walk for many hours at a time and not knowing if I ever would again and....The worst part, by far, is feeling like I'm being electrocuted so badly that not dying to be out of my misery is far worse than any fear of death. We need much more research on seizures--especially at well funded places such as NIH. This kid is a thousand times tougher than many people may even begin to imagine him being.
