The Foundation's Founder, Willie Gault, commented: "I cannot begin to putinto words how grateful I am for all of our sponsors who have made theseefforts possible. Reggie White was a great man who I knew as a dear friendfor many years -- going back to our days together at the University ofTennessee. For a man with all the goodness of Mr. White as a person, and allthe amazing things he did as a professional athlete, for some reason ourhealth care system was unable to give his family Reggie's full life. From myexperience, Reggie White may have been the greatest to ever play professionalfootball. At the time of his retirement, White was the NFL's all-time sacksleader with 198. In addition to being enshrined in the Hall of Fame, threeteams retired White's number 92 jersey. To have our flagship mobile healthcenter dedicated to my friend and legend Reggie White is an honor indeed."
Mr. Gault continued: "I must express my most sincere thanks to SarahWhite and the Reggie White Estate for their support of the Foundation. Onbehalf of the Foundation's more than 65 Members, I would like to say to Mrs.White this: 'It is not all in vain. We will never forget. The system willchange, and the Foundation will not take no for an answer. It begins thisweek. I offer my sincere thanks.'"
Dr. Lowell Harmison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Signalife,Inc. -- maker of the Fidelity 100 -- continued: "For a man as impressive,both on off the playing field, as Reggie White to be taken from society andfrom his family at such a young age -- from a completely solvable andpreventable heart condition -- should be an abomination to our modern society.According to the Mecklenburg County Medical Examiner's Office, the most likelycause of death was cardiac and pulmonary sarcoiodosis. This led to a fatalcardiac arrhythmia. This is, to me, an outrage. For every person asunfortunate as Mr. White, there are countless people who are silent to us whohave experienced the same fate."
Dr. Harmison -- the former Principal Deputy of the United StatesDepartment of Health Services under the Reagan Administration, and author ofthe book Zeroing In On Your Heart, continued: "The level playing field startstoday."
