Dana Benbow of The Indianapolis Star wrote an open letter to Peyton Manning on Wednesday thanking the Broncos’ quarterback for flying her friend who is dying of breast cancer to Denver for Sunday’s game against the Ravens.

The friend, Kari Barnett Bollig of Rock Springs, Wyo., has stage 4 breast cancer and has recently written letters to those that who have meant something to her — teachers, friends, family. Manning was one, and his letter was the only one Bollig mailed.

After receiving her letter, Manning flew Bollig, 45, and her husband, Ed, to Denver and gave them tickets and sideline passes to the Week 1 game against Baltimore. The two were shown around Saturday and Sunday, allowing them to tour Sports Authority Field at Mile High, watch the Broncos as they had their walk-throughs and team photo shoot, and, of course, meet Manning.

Peyton is so classy. He is a credit to the NFL in so many ways, in the midst of so much negativity.
