After a terrifying incident on the field in 2022, Damar Hamlin has been on a remarkable journey to return to the game he loves. At the ESPY Awards Show in June, the crowd gave him a standing ovation before he could say a word, an indication of the nation's admiration for his story. Hamlin opened up to Michael Strahan on Dateline, saying that when he first woke up he wanted to know if the game was won.
His recovery became a national story and he partnered with the American Heart Association to create a #3forHeart CPR challenge fundraiser. This initiative raised nearly three million dollars for the organization and increased the number of people who know how to administer CPR.
Finally, on August 12, Hamlin took the field for the Buffalo Bills in a pre-season game against the Indianapolis Colts. He appeared in 24 snaps, recording 3 tackles and making a big fourth-down stop in the first quarter. After the game, he spoke to reporters from USA Today and said it was a great experience and a step forward in getting back to himself.
The nation continues to be inspired by Hamlin's story and his determination to return to the game of football. His journey is a testament to his resilience and will be celebrated for years to come.
