A Tackle at a Time: The Unlikely Philanthropy of Arion Carter Tennessee linebacker Arion Carter was suspended for accepting a $427 flight from an agent, but he has turned this setback into an opportunity to give back.
For every tackle he makes during the season, he will donate $427 to cancer research. Carter's connection to cancer research is personal: his girlfriend, Mariah Bryant, is undergoing treatment for stage 2 breast cancer.
His decision to use his platform to raise money for her and others like her is a testament to the power of love and dedication.
