"Beyond my focus on returning to the football field, I'm honored to lead Chasing M's Foundation, which is dedicated to the development, health & safety of youth through sports, engagement activities, training, and programming," Hamlin wrote in a statement. "Because of what I experienced, I'm working to make sure that kids across the country have the same access to life-saving care that I did - if they need it."
Hamlin's foundation, established initially to support a local toy drive, went viral after Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest during a game in January.
