Aaron Rodgers makes music with girl suffering from spina bifida

Aaron Rodgers might be out for a few weeks with a fractured collarbone, but that doesn't mean he can't get one of his fans really, really excited anyway.

As you can see in the video -- which I assume was made before the Packers quarterback injured himself -- Rodgers helps make music with 13-year-old Kelly, who suffers from spina bifida.

I figured we could all use some good news for a change.

i am happy he does this with kids.

i am sickt to death of him and his ambulance chasing shyster lawyer friend david gruber shamelessly self-promoting themselves on ads 24-7 on tv patting themselves on the back for doing this.

there are a lot of people that do this stuff and not buy tv ads all day and night and show off about their charity work.

Wow, I’m impressed. Aaron is a true credit to the NFL and the Packers. I wasn’t aware of his work outside of football. Thanks for posting.

And here I thought spina bifida sufferers had no hope of a rewarding life and should have been aborted.
Guess Planned Parenthood was lying to us. /s

I admire both of them.

Good job.

Take somebody doing something good and find a way to be offended by it.

How does one go about raising money without promotion?

They run ads on television in SE Wisconsin across multiple channels, all hours of the day and night, that are just self-promotion pieces - “they” I explained earlier, are Rogers and his shyster lawyer ambulance chaser buddy David Gruber. They never talk about raising money for charity. It’s all 100% a showcase about THEM and what they are doing. It is total self-promotion.
