Stricken NFL star Damar Hamlin raised money to give toys to local kids at Christmas

Damar Hamlin's charitable habits are receiving huge attention after the Buffalo Bills star tragically suffered a cardiac arrest on Monday.

The 24-year-old safety collapsed in the first quarter of his side's NFL clash against the Cincinnati Bengals and is understood to still be in a critical condition. However, the sports community has done its best to show support for Hamlin in his time of need by shining a spotlight on his children's charity.

Hamlin helped start the 'Chasing M's [Millions] Foundation' in 2020, participating in fundraising activities and raising donations through clothing and merchandise. However, one Christmas toy drive fundraiser has received particular attention following the player's health crisis and raised more than £2.6million ($3.1m) through 123,000 donations as of Tuesday morning.
