Kirby Jackson Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 As suggested on Twitter by someone I think that we start giving to the Eric Wood Foundation. He is a great community citizen and gave a lot to WNY. We should start giving back. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope somehow it's a mistake - Wood just had a baby son, you wouldn't think he'd be out skiing or sky-diving or jet boating or something that's high injury risk. But a car accident or some freak fall can happen to anyone any time I guess. Edited January 26, 2018 by Hapless Bills Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, Eric has teamed with the Children's hospital to raise money. He used to have a site at ericwoodsfoundation.org, but it no longer exists.

My guess would be it was the birth of his son plus the complications with his neck that led him to the decision to retire now. Having a child puts the risk of having major injury, especially at his age perhaps into better perspective and he concluded further playing isn’t worth it.

It was his second child but yes, those events happening so close together may have been a sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
