It’s not only San Antonio Spurs star Tim Duncan who is helping out cancer patients today as in addition to the $247,000 donated by the big man, Minnesota Vikings defensive end Brian Robison has joined the cause.

Unlike Duncan, Robison isn’t going to donate money however but rather his beautiful locks of hair.

Robison, who is known just as much for his scalp as his play apparently decided he wanted to step up and make a difference so he has decided to chop his hair off and donate it to Locks of Love.

They in turn will create realistic looking wigs for cancer patients.

Brian Robison posted a photo of what previously on top of his head.

Tomorrows agenda........ Send this to @lockslove .... That's right its gone

Just a few minutes later Robison returned to social media and debuted his new look.

It’s a wonderful gesture on behalf of the Minnesota Vikings defender and hopefully one that many more athletes will partake in. Of course, there aren’t a ton of players who have long enough hair to make such an impact but perhaps Robinon’s dedication will inspire others to take part.

There hasn’t been a person who has yet to be impacted by cancer and it seems every day those in the public spotlight continue to give back. Of course, as Robison showed, giving doesn’t always have to be in the form of cash and I’m sure there will be a few people or children who benefit from the kind heart of Brian Robison.
