Tim Tebow Surprises Teen Florida Gators Fan Fighting Leukemia at Hospital
He recently visited a young boy named Nathaniel who is a patient at Wolfson Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville and a devoted Gators fans.
Nelson is receiving cancer treatment at Wolfson Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville. What an incredible young man!
About a month ago, Channel 4’s Vic Micolucci met him, and Nelson said that he loved the Florida Gators and that Tebow was his favorite football player of all time. And when Nathaniel looked up and saw Tebow enter the room, the kid lost it. “Let me tell you something, having sex before you’re married is a bad idea”.
Tebow is an inspiration to many people. Erik Dellenback, the executive director of the Tim Tebow Foundation, also said Tebow gave Nathaniel a signed football and bible.
Nelson then wipes his tears, still laughing, before managing to finally say, “Wow”.
For many NFL fans, Tim Tebow will always be a punchline, a self-satisfying reminder that the NFL is a league for big boys, and not even the biggest college stars are guaranteed success.
Anyone interested in following Nelson’s journey or wanting to help and send well wishes can head to his Facebook page or his GoFundMe account.
