YouTube - Jimmy's 1993 ESPY Speech

Bill,

I'm a huge college basketball fan (although you can't tell that from my awful showing in your IOW board contest). I watch the Jimmy V Classic games every year and I always get goose bumps when watching the speech. That man couldn't even walk up and down the stairs unaided but when he started talking it was like he was infused with a strength, or spirit, that just took him over. His words are inspiring, whether one is fighting illness or not.

I wish you the best.
