The foundation came from both David Johnson, running back for the Houston Texans, and his wife, Meghan, wanting to have a positive impact on children’s lives. Growing up, David’s coaches, teachers, and mentors impacted his life. These influencers inspired David to go to college to become a physical education/health teacher with a minor in coaching. His intentions were to better children’s lives mentally, physically, and emotionally-just as his role models did for him.
Meghan has always wanted to work on an oncology unit for children as she went to school for nursing. She also has been inspired to help children in the community. They both frequently volunteer at children’s hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses. They have enjoyed the experiences that they have had with serving children, so this foundation combines their passions into one cause.
