Mandatory Credit: Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports Russell Wilson's involvement in the Seattle community is no secret. 
He regularly sets aside time to visit patients in the hospital, whether he performed well on the field. 
After a recent trip to Seattle Children's Hospital, Wilson posted a picture via his Instagram and accepted the girl's wish to be her godfather. 
A touching story, indeed.
The story, however, took a sad turn later Wednesday. The Seahawks' quarterback posted a tweet saying the young girl had passed away.
A Facebook page for Ailynn says she was 5 years old and suffered from Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
