The title of this post is a quote from six-year-old Luke Akerstrom of Jacksonville, Fla. Luke was stricken with a rare form of encephalitis last New Year's Eve. He suffered through a terrifying and painful seizure that lasted more than 30 minutes. Specialists told the Akerstrom family that young Luke was fortunate to have survived. Jacksonville Jaguars center Brad Meester met Luke while visiting other children in the hospital during the off-season. Jacksonville.com chronicled Luke's road to recovery and his relationship with the Meesters and Jaguars communications director Ryan Robinson. You can view the video below (email subscribers click here). We often refer to heroes as people we look up to. As you'll see in the piece, Meester is a special kind of hero. He's not afraid to humble himself and kneel down. Until next time...
Be a Good Sport!
