Tebow surprises brothers fighting cancer
Tim Tebow's foundation works to help people in "their darkest hour of need" and recently, its W15H program made two brothers' dream come true when they recently hung out with the football-turned-baseball player.
Preston and Parker Jackson were both diagnosed with pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer, and all they wanted to do was meet Tebow. A heartwarming video compiled by the foundation shows Tebow surprising them multiple times, first by simply hanging out over lunch and then with a tour of Auburn football's stadium ahead of the SEC championship game earlier this month.
The trio took photos on the field and played catch with the former Heisman Trophy winner on the empty field - an actual once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They also got a behind-the-scenes look at SEC Nation's broadcast of the conference championship game.
"It wasn't like talking celebrity-to-person," Preston says in the video. "It was like man-to-man, heart-to-heart kind of talk, and it was really, really special."
