March Of Dimes Foundation

By Courtney Aurillo Posted On December 9, 2012

The March of Dimes Foundation honored Former New York Jets running back Curtis Martin on November 28th, at the Waldorf Astoria. No stranger to outstanding speeches, Martin felt honored to be recognized by a well-known foundation that supports and promotes healthy beginnings for babies. When asked about what motivated him to give such a powerful speech at Canton, Martin replied that it was not as difficult as some would think, because he was “spoke from the heart.” He continued by saying without Bill Parcels, he would not have accomplished all he has in his professional NFL career.

Other honorees included 2012 gold medalists Keri Walsh-Jennings and Misty May-Treanor.

A backbreaking pick-six from Aaron Rodgers was the turning point as the Seattle Seahawks came screaming back for a 26-21 victory.
