In a time when so many professional athletes are lousy role models for our children, many thanks to Mark Herzlich for showing up. New York Giants linebacker Mark Herzlich, who beat a deadly form of bone cancer to achieve his dream of playing in the NFL, has been traveling around the country meeting with young atheletes and children who have been diagnosed with cancer. His story and attitude is inspirational to them and to all of us. He overcame incredible odds and never gave up the hope of achieving his dreams. Herzlich's focus in life has changed dramaticly since his battle with cancer. He believes that the most important thing that he can do with his life suprisingly does not involve making a touchdown. His mission is to give hope to children struggling with cancer. He has even inspired some of his teammates to do the same. Job well done, Mark.
Whether your child is an athelete, struggling with a disease or just an average child share Herzlich's story with them. It may just inspire greatness in them.
