Vernon Forrest houses hurricane victims

[Super_Lightweight]

Former welterweight champion Vernon Forrest is funding housing in Atlanta, Georgia for five New Orleans families left homeless in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. On a September 1st telethon presented by Atlanta radio station V103FM, Forrest donated over $6000 that will provide month long stays for the families at the Amerisuites Hotel in Atlanta. In another act of generosity, Forrest learned that the mother in one of the families suffered from high blood pressure and was in urgent need of assistance. He personally escorted her to a nearby drugstore and kindly covered the cost. The following day, Forrest participated in a live telethon WAGA-FOX5 telethon that helped raise more than $5.5 million dollars for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. "As Americans we should all feel compelled to help as able," said Forrest. "I strongly encourage my fellow boxers and the entire boxing community to recognize their potential in aiding the Hurricane relief efforts. The people really need our assistance."

I always thought Vernon was a stand-up guy, so good for him.

Speaking of Roy Jones, has anyone heard anything from him about this? I'm just asking because he's from Louisiana (unless I'm crazy for thinking that) so I didn't know if he had any family, friend, etc. affected by this.

...Now that's some genuine support from a genuine individual.

Yep, you're crazy.

Roy Jones is 100% Floridian.

Speaking of Roy, no one has heard anything from him about anything since the Tarver fight was announced. On lock down it seems like to me.
