Vikings' Greenway donates $10K to Texas flood victims
Adrian Peterson's Minnesota Vikings teammates are doing their part to help flood victims in Peterson's home town of Palestine, Texas.
After Peterson donated $100,000 toward the cause, linebacker Chad Greenway kicked in an additional $10,000.
@Vikings teammates have each others' backs. Just contributed $10,000 of supplies to help @AdrianPeterson support flood victims in TX.

Six people died as a result of the flash flooding in late April.
"Seeing the devastation and the disaster there, and more importantly six lives were claimed due to the storm, I feel obligated being in my position to use my resources to be able to help my community come back from this," Peterson told Matt Vensel of The Star Tribune. "It's something that has never happened before. Palestine is not known for flooding. So it really caught people by surprise."
