(Ed's Note: We received these photos and message from the mother of the child above. She is Kistina Rodriguez and her child Jonathan. is a special needs child. In this message she sends a thank you to Veterans Memorial H.S. Chargers football player Ismael De Leon, #35, for participating in a program partnering runners with special needs children like her son.)

There is a group that me and my kids are part of. It is called Run with RGV where kids with special needs are partnered with runners, people who work out, or anybody that is willing to go the extra mile and dedicate the things that they can do that maybe our little one cannot.
This is Ismael De Leon, #35, VM Chargers. This young man has a heart of gold. Sometimes he will wake up before dawn just to go for a swim or run a mile for my son Jonathan and tonight he had him walk on the field with him. He had the whole team sign a football for him.
It's amazing how many good people are out there. We need more of you.
Congratulations on tonight's win!

is that your kid, juan?
That remark was uncalled for. It was insensitive and an insult to special needs children and their parents. Get a life you snake!
We need more good hearted people like this young man in the world.
Not idiots like comment above asking if child is Juan's
Special needs children have unconditional love, pure and innocents hearts, and the most natural honest smiles. God bless them and their parents always. With holidays coming up we shall be thankful for all children. Any and every child is a blessing.
