Additional stops on Hamlin’s tour are planned for New York City, Pittsburgh, where Hamlin attended college, and Cincinnati, where six months ago Hamlin went into cardiac arrest and was resuscitated on the field during a game.

The Buffalo Bills said Tuesday that safety Damar Hamlin has been cleared to resume playing and is attending workouts four months after going into cardiac arrest on the field during a game.
According to the American Heart Association, cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death for children in America due to a lack of AED and CPR knowledge.
The Corryville post office says they felt the outpouring of love for Buffalo Bills' safety Damar Hamlin just by the number of letters they received for him.
The 24-year-old has teamed with The Giving Back Fund, a nonprofit that helps athletes and celebrities manage their charitable giving, to host the “The Chasing M’s Foundation” Charitable Fund.
The hospital said its team of doctors was “tasked with identifying any possible causes of the event, potentially treat any pathology that may be found, as well as plan for his recovery, discharge and rehabilitation.”
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is selling shirts to benefit first responders and the University of Cincinnati Medical Center amid his recovery from cardiac arrest.
NFL owners approved a resolution Friday that implemented new rules for this postseason in response to the cancellation of the Bills-Bengals game after Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field Monday night.
