18-year old John Challis died Tuesday night at his home in suburban Pittsburgh. John had an incurable form of cancer whose story became an inspiration to sports reporters and many of the professional athletes he admired. I shared John's story in my blog entry for Mother's Day 2008.
ESPN did a tear jerking story on John upon the news of his death this week. You can watch it below. WARNING: If you aren't familiar with John's story have plenty of Kleenex. If you are familiar with John's story have plenty of Kleenex. This brave kid showed the rest of us how to live and appreciate life.
