Tim Tebow is the great American sports hero. Unsurpassed accomplishments on the football field and a heart worthy of saint status off it. Last night, Tim escorted a young fan of his with a brain tumor down the red carpet at the The Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards show taking her beyond her wildest dreams. Clifton, Virginia resident Kelly Faughnan, 20, whom he’d met the day before asked her parents for a trip to Disney World for a chance to simply meet her idol. Instead she became his date.
Tim Tebow and his elite football team, the University of Florida Gators, just suffered a disappointing loss in last weeks SEC Championship game. Thank goodness the boy knows his greatest efforts are always done off the football field. He’s a winner in every sense of the word, and as a fellow Gator, I couldn’t be prouder. I can only hope that my son grows up as well as Timmy has! Check out the red carpet interview with Tim and his beautiful date below. To read more on this inspirational story click here.
