Too often kids are made fun of when they are young for various reasons.  Nine-year-old Andrew Oyston, from the Chicago area was constantly getting bullied for being overweight, especially on the bus.

This prompted his dad to reach out to the boy's hero, Bears Pro Bowl Guard, Kyle Long.  After the boy's dad contacted Long on Twitter. Long immediately responded saying that he would even ride the bus with Andrew. Long and the boy's family worked for months to figure out a time to get together.  Finally the day came and Long spent the day at Chuckee Cheese for Andrew's sister's birthday and Long spent the day with Andrew and his family.  Long said he also had trouble on the bus in elementary and middle school.

I love to see a sports star giving a kid confidence and hope for the future.  I hope more star help out kids that have been bullied.

Check out some photos of their day together from Long's Twitter:
