Last January, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest after being tackled and appeared to be hit in the chest by a helmet during the first quarter of Monday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Bills team doctors and University of Cincinnati Medical Center staff rushed to help the 25-year-old and found him suffering from cardiac arrest. CPR was performed on the field and Hamlin was transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he remained for nearly 25 years. One week before his return to Buffalo. Since then, Hamlin has been undergoing ongoing rehabilitation, and in April, he was cleared to resume full football activities with the Bills. And on Sunday, the Bills return to Baycor for the first time since the amazing response from the Bills’ team doctors and UCLA medical staff. In return for his gratitude, Hamlin surprised the UCLA medical staff with a private dinner at The Lempicka by Jeff Ruby. Security treated all 10 of its “heroes” to dinner before surprising each of them with a scholarship that will support young people in Cincinnati to “pursue their dreams.” Hamlin also expressed his gratitude on social media, noting that he “won’t be here.” If it wasn’t for them.” The three-year-old big leaguer will continue his storybook return on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Hamlin knows he’s here because of the quick and urgent reaction from both sides; and in turn, he’s giving back to the city in very big ways.
