From The Sports Desk...

We live in a cynical world. I am as guilty of it as anyone. That is why a story like this matters so much. We need them more than ever. This tale is one of the most inspirational you'll ever hear.

There are a couple reasons this story hit me. I do love sport. The thrill of competition and the agony of defeat. My Dad is a cancer survivor. I had a close friend survive testicular cancer. The kids in this story, all of them, are commendable. They are miraculous. I'm not embarrassed at all to tell you, my friends, that this video made me cry.

Forget your onions about Keith Olbermann as a commentator. He's inconsequential.



God bless you Nick. Best of luck for a speedy recovery.
