Zoltan Mesko A Superstar To Those In Need

This is a great article from the Boston Herald about Zoltan's work with Boston Children's Hospital.  It's a great read and there is a brief video interview with Zoltan and his, umm, Space Empress.

"All she knew Tuesday night was that her daughter had been in the hospital nearly a week and needed a boost. In truth, both of them needed one. And it came in the form of the smiling, cheery, 6-foot-4, Romanian"

Zoltan already won the Ron Burton Community Service Award earlier this year from the Patriots organization and will receive the "Champion's Award" from Boston Children's.  Pat's owner Robert Kraft recently gave him probably the highest praise possible for one of his players:

"In the 18 years since we established the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation, perhaps no player has accomplished more in the community in such a short amount of time.”"

We can all be really proud of Zoltan and the way that he conducts himself.  I'm sure he will continue to do great things in the community with the foundation that he has recently started along with Tim North.  He is truly a Michigan Man and I'm so happy that he is making a difference.

This is a great article about the Space Emperor, and thanks for sharing!

One thing that I really thought was great was the insight of his own teammate, Matthew Slater:

“I think his perspective on life as a young man is way ahead of where he is age-wise. He’s got an older soul, an older spirit to him. He understands what’s important in this life and what things are maybe not as important which I think reflects in how he gives back.”

It seems like that ties into Mesko's own thoughts on celebrity, which he mentions in the article, and how he uses "a bigger brand to facilitate help". Clearly, he does this with amazing results in the community - it is great to see a Michigan Man trying to make the lives of children and families brighter through such involvement.
