Considering all of the things that Damar Hamlin has been through ... why not shoot for the very top?

Hamlin, the recovering Buffalo Bills safety, continues to turn his life-threatening struggle into a fight for what's right as he has partnered with the American Heart Association to create "Damar Hamlin's Three For Heart CPR Challenge."

The challenge - to the celebrities and to the rest of us - includes the requests for the following: a short video explaining hands-only CPR, a donation to the AHA fund for CPR awareness and the spreading of the word to three friends.

Hamlin challenged three rather prominent public figures to help him get the cause off to the right kind of start.

"To kick things off, I'm challenging the GOATS: LeBron James, Tom Brady and Michelle Obama. You've all been challenged," Hamlin said.

Hamlin's life was saved by CPR after he collapsed on the field due to a cardiac arrest after what seemed like a routine tackle during a Week 17 matchup against the Bengals in Cincinnati, an incident that was viewed by millions on national TV.

The frightening incident drew people together and has of course already drawn a great deal of attention to a variety of subjects, now including the importance of CPR training, with Hamlin's effort quite certain to further that cause. ... especially if he gets the help of his trio of preferred "GOATs.''
