Don't Give Up, Don't Ever Give Up!

I volunteered again this year at the Jimmy V Celebrity Golf Classic, a tournament that benefits the Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research. I walked 18 holes with a team while carrying around a standard (see right for an example) that listed their names and their score.

This year, my team consisted of John Calipari and 4 hilarious guys from IBM. The North Carolina humidity, the August heat and the hilly terrain at Pinehurst left me exhausted at the end of the day, but I know I'll be back again next year.

Jim Valvano was an amazing man and if you have never seen or heard his inspirational 1993 ESPYs speech, I encourage you to click here to see it on YouTube.
