SEATTLE – Russell Wilson has taken to social media in the hopes of finding a teen a new heart.

Wilson, who visits patients at Seattle Children's Hospital every Tuesday, posted a video on Instagram with the boy, identified only as Chris. Wilson is sitting next to Chris, who was lying in his hospital bed.

"So, we're at Seattle Children's Hospital right now and we're with Chris. He's 16 years old. My man needs a heart transplant. Anybody got an extra heart? Rootin' for you guys. Thank you guys so much. Go Hawks," said Wilson.

"Yeah," added Chris.

Last year, another heart transplant patient, Allison Christensen, gained fame after Wilson showed off the duct tape wallet she made for him. By coincidence, a donor was found that same day and Christensen had her heart transplant.
