Broncos Player Gives Back With Hospital Visits
Kathy Walsh


(CBS4) DENVER A Denver Bronco went to the hospital Tuesday to spend part of his day off visiting young patients, and he brought his family with him.

Longsnapper Mike Leach and his family believe you're never too young to give back to your community. He went to Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center bearing gifts -- a toy shopping cart full of Broncos paraphernalia.

Mike and his wife, Julie, and 22-month-old son, Ryan, go to the hospital every month to let sick children know that somebody cares.

"It's pretty cool he takes the time out of his day to do it," said one young patient.

Some patients ask for autographs and others get some blue and orange loot from Ryan. The family also sticks around for a little conversation.

They started the family visits this football season and admit some can be emotional.

"It's really hard to see, not only the kids and what they're going through, but I really feel for the parents as well," Julie said.

"You can't help but when you leave here, you see all these kids, you bring a smile to some of their faces and some of their parents faces," Mike said. "It makes you feel good."

Next season, the trio will become a quartet. The Leach family is expecting a baby girl in January.

The guy's pure class. :salute:

he is that not only a great LS, but is almost always downfield covering the punts, see him almost always around the KR if he has not made the tackle.

Hope he can play for a lot more years..
