My 16-year Old Hero

16-year old Adam Hubbs is a new hero of mine. At 13, Adam was diagnosed with a rare, genetic microbacteria infection that caused his body to stop making white blood cells to fight off infections. After chemo and a bone marrow transplant and a stroke, Adam still fights: "You just never give up, no matter how hard it is," he said. "Even on your bad days, you fight through it."

Earlier this month Adam got the surprise of his life, a day with Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow. Take 7 minutes and watch the following ESPN video and be reminded that no matter what you are facing today, someone is facing something much worse with courage and hope like Adam.
