We all know that NFL football can become a big part of our lives. Some people's lives can be impacted in a tremendous way from simply meeting their favorite player or checking out their team's locker room. There are plenty of great stories where children who are unfortunately diagnosed with crippling diseases get their chance to meet their favorite team.
The story of Braylon Beam is a special one. Braylon, a six-year-old, was diagnosed with a Brain tumor in February according to an ESPN article covering the story. Fortunately Braylon announced Sunday at the Panther's game (his team) that the tumor is dying! Hearing the story of such a young kid fighting against such a tough situation can be truly humbling.
It is great to hear that Braylon is starting to beat the brain tumor and hopefully the tumor continues to shrink! He was able to coach the team at a Fan fest event in August. The team was thrilled when they heard about Braylon's current state.
Braylon's message to the team before the game? Six-year-old Braylon is wise beyond his years by telling the team"We've got to keep positive." We can all learn a thing or two from Braylon through his positive attitude. (Braylon pictured below during Sunday's pregame)
