Bills Fan Favorite Joins Hallmark Holiday Film With Proceeds Donated to Buffalo Children’s Cardiac Foundation

Heartmates

Buffalo, NY – September 12, 2025
Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is stepping into the holiday spotlight once again — this time in Hallmark’s new Christmas movie “The More the Merrier.”

The film is part of Hallmark’s beloved Countdown to Christmas lineup and carries a special message: celebrating resilience, hope, and the bonds of community. Hamlin, who survived sudden cardiac arrest in 2023, will appear on screen alongside five children and teens from the Abbott HeartMates program — all of whom have battled serious heart challenges.

As an Abbott HeartMates ambassador, Hamlin has already built close connections with these kids and their families. Now, those real-life bonds will shine on camera in a holiday setting filmed in Buffalo.

Hamlin shared his excitement:
“These kids are real fighters. Being able to stand beside them in this movie means the world to me. It’s about showing that no matter what challenges life gives us, we can still celebrate, smile, and dream big.”

Adding to the impact, Hallmark and Abbott announced that a portion of the film’s proceeds will be donated to a Buffalo-based heart health foundation, ensuring that the holiday spirit translates into real-life support for families facing cardiovascular challenges.

The storyline of “The More the Merrier” unfolds in a small-town hospital on Christmas Eve, blending festive joy with heartfelt lessons — including the inspiration of a young heart patient who changes everyone around him.

For Bills Mafia, Hamlin’s role is more than a cameo. It’s a powerful reminder of his remarkable comeback and his ongoing mission to give back to the community that stood by him in his darkest hour.

📺 Fans can tune in when Hallmark announces the official air date on September 17.

Ravens Fan-Favourite CB Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Baltimore, MD – October 8, 2025Baltimore Ravens second-year cornerback Nate Wiggins is mourning a profound personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin, Justin “Spidey” Fuller — a respected military-trained skydiving instructor — died in a tragic tandem jump accident outside Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending personnel for their efforts. Known by the nickname “Spidey,” Fuller died after a tandem skydive went wrong on October 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Beloved in the skydiving community, Spidey had completed more than 5,000 jumps and helped train U.S. service members in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused and devoted to lifting others higher — in life and in the air.” Wiggins — whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller’s mother, grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Nate that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Nate lives and plays today.” Wiggins, a former first-round pick from Clemson, has steadily earned the Ravens’ trust as a rotational cornerback in nickel/dime packages, praised for his speed, press technique, and ability to carry deep routes. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years,” calm under pressure, and disciplined at the catch point. Through the first five games of 2025, he has 12 solo tackles, 4 passes defensed, and 1 interception, reinforcing his value on the perimeter.  The Ravens organization has provided time and private support for Wiggins and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to “Spidey” continue to pour in on social media from military colleagues, fellow skydivers, and fans across the country.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Wiggins kept his public comments brief, speaking softly before being embraced by teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
