I have a similar story, About 4 years ago, i had a cousin that was diagnosed with leukemia as well, and given 6 months to live. He had always wanted to play football in high school. Was in 6th grade at the time. Through some people that his mom knew, the strength trainer for the colts invited him to come to a colts training camp pratice. He was all set to just sit and watch, but they let him participate. He caught balls from peyton. Marvin harrison spent 45 minutes just talking with him. Even after the pratice was over 3 colts players went out to dinner with us. I'd never seen him so happy, Happily he lived and while dealing with some mild side effects, lives a normal life. Sometimes, me included, pigeonhole athletes because we do not get to spend time with them personally. I will forever be grateful to several colts players who lifted his spirits that day.
