Haley, a young lady who was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome at age 15, is a huge Tim Tebow fan. She’s wanted to meet the football star for a very long time.
So Tebow’s W15H program made it happen, and in the process, treated Haley like a princess.
The program is part of the Tim Tebow Foundation’s outreach initiative, which grants children with life-threatening illnesses the chance to meet Tebow, all the while fulfilling any desire they might have.
From the W15H website:
Each year, the Tim Tebow Foundation creates more than 20 official W15H experiences by providing deserving children with travel, accommodations, daily activities, meals, gifts and one-on-one time with Tim.
W15H has granted over 40 official W15H experiences at many venues including NFL Games, Award Shows, Disney World and more. Haley’s visit to Scottsdale, Arizona, included an airplane tour of the Grand Canyon, pampering in a presidential suite, and the chance to throw out the first pitch at a Diamondbacks game.
Tebow was often by her side, prayed with her and her family, and spent quality time with them. His selfless act of kindness helped Haley forget about her illness, if only for a moment, and focus on being a kid and enjoying herself.
Isn’t this just the kind of role model America needs?
He wasn’t the first guy who was a good QB in college and not in the pros. I saw him play all his games as a Bronco, there isn’t any conspiracy about his religion. Bronco players interview like him all the time. If you were right they’d all be canned.
The history of the NFL is full of Heisman winning quarterbacks, most of who also won national championships, who were busts in the NFL. Andre Ware, Danny Wuerffel (also a Florida QB), Pat Sullivan, Gino Torretta, Ty Detmer, Matt Leinhart, Troy Smith, and even Steve Spurrier.
Bill Clinton is beloved. Tim Tebow is scorned.
The Bible explains this:
“And men loved darkness because their deeds were evil.”
This world isn’t getting better. It is getting worse.
