A Newark man says he wants to create a foundation to help injured athletes.

47-year-old Marshal Manlove says he has seen too many high school athletes being taken off the field on stretchers, so he is forming the Injured Athletes Assistance Foundation.

Manlove: "I saw this accident on the field a couple of weeks ago, it kind of brought my mind back to what our priorities are in life."

Manlove runs the website DelawareSports.com, and is changing the focus of his website.

Manlove: "To try to, not only help people out, but to make sure that, to the best of my ability, people continue to be aware of who these injured people are."

The Injured Athletes Assistance Foundation will..... Manlove: "Financially assist athletes when possible, to never let anyone forget about these people, to provide counseling services to athletes and their families."

Eventually, Manlove would like to build a center where injured athletes can get physical and emotional therapy.
