Whenever you make someone laugh, cry, and think in one day, youve lived a full day.

I remember where I was when he gave that speech; everyone around me was crying.

That man was the bravest.

That will be for my kids.

That will be for your family members.

That will be for everyone who passed away from cancer.

Im taking a lot of people on that stage with me that night.

I have to do something on this Earth before I leave here and I want to champion that cause.

Morgan famously had his own run in with death.

I know why God saved my life in that accident years ago, God saved my life to help.

Theres only one way out of the darkness, and you have to put yourself in service to others.

We have to make good for all those with that deadly disease.

We have to make it so suffering stops we must.

Maybe we can change someones world.

That is what Mr. Valvano was talking about that night.
