Russell Wilson visits Seattle Children’s Hospital every Tuesday, and this past visit resulted in a plea posted to social media for a new heart.

Wilson posted an Instagram video with a teenager identified as “Chris” and said:

So, we’re at Seattle Children’s Hospital right now and we’re with Chris. He’s 16 years old. My man needs a heart transplant. Anybody got an extra heart? Rootin’ for you guys. Thank you guys so much. Go Hawks.

In 2013, another patient in need of a heart transplant, Allison Christensen, made Wilson a duct tape wallet. She happened to receive her new heart the very same day.

Here’s to hoping Chris will be that lucky as well!
