"We've been in this fight for over 10 years, since my dad was overseas and was able to purchase the freedom of four little girls," the Heisman Trophy winner said. "And I just knew that day that I was called to fight for the most vulnerable. And that's what we're trying to do.

"And we're fortunate to be able to do that. And just over 90 countries around the world … fight for the MVPs, the world's most vulnerable people. But specifically, this campaign that we're talking about today is for those boys and girls that are being exploited and being abused … many times in their own home."

The former Denver Broncos quarterback gave some startling statistics about child sex abuse.
