Tim Tebow supports fan who sang 'God Bless America'


Before singing God Bless America at the Tampa Yankees' game against the St. Lucie Mets, 27-year-old Jillian Joyce had a request.

Joyce, who has cerebral palsy, asked St. Lucie's Tim Tebow to stand with her according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Of course, Tebow did.

More from the Tampa Bay Times:

Joyce's mother, Lillian, said her daughter is a singer with the Pyramid Players, a local group of special-needs adults that performs in the area. Jillian has attended one of the special-needs proms Tebow organizes, and she met him before the game to talk about her experiences.

"He was so nice to her - he was just wonderful," Lillian said. "When you're a parent of a special needs person, you're just so grateful for all that he does."
