We all know Colin Kaepernick is fast, but this is a whole new speed for the free-agent quarterback.

Less than 22 hours after Kaepernick threw his support behind the "Love Army For Somalia" GoFundMe page, the online charity surpassed it's goal of raising $1 million to help send food and water to Somalia.

Kaepernick posted a video to his social media accounts Friday to announce that he had joined the cause that features actor Ben Stiller, along with the American Refugee Committee, and that they had secured a donated airplane from Turkish Airlines in order to fly supplies to Somalia.
