So heartwarming!!

This is a video clip of a 15 year old boy with Down Syndrome. His football team was losing 40-something to zero, so his coach asked the other team''s coach if they would let Matt run the ball for a touchdown... Imagine what pride this boy felt when they announced his number and name for a touchdown!!

Linky

When they showed this story on Morning Express (love Robin Meade, by the way), I definitely teared up... such sportsmanship. And now he is the town celebrity signing his autograph on the newspaper article.
