Danny Amendola returns to Boston to support meaningful cause

NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. -- Veteran wide receiver Danny Amendola was the celebrity guest at the American Cancer Society's "Relay for Life" at Merrimack College on Friday night, flying into town from Florida to help a cause that has great meaning to him.

"I lost my aunt to breast cancer. It was 2012, I flew back up to Boston because that was when I was still with the Rams, and I remember coming through the city and driving up to Maine, in Yarmouth, paying our respects to her and all she did for our family. She was a great woman and it was a great celebration of her life.
