Vikings’ Charles Johnson attends 10-year-old girl’s party after all invitees decline

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Charles Johnson was among the nearly 300 people over the weekend who responded to a plea on Facebook by the parents of a 10-year-old girl who was about to have a birthday party where none of the invitees were planning to attend.

Mackenzie Moretter turned 10 last week, and according to her father, doesn’t have many friends at school due to the effects of the rare genetic disorder, Sotos Syndrome, she was diagnosed with when she was one.

“It causes gigantism where kids grow at a faster pace. So Mackenzie is a lot taller than other classmates,” Matthew Moretter said, via a KARE-11 report.
