Williams is also responsible for leading the push in 2009 to allow NFL players to wear pink cleats and accessories throughout October for Breast Cancer Awareness month.
This is dedicated to my mom, my aunts & women everywhere affected by Breast Cancer. I love you. #WeAreInThisTogether https://t.co/bAwaanlfzV
