AWESOME! I love to hear stories like this about our players and especially Tebow. He sure is a special person, and I love the fact that even our enemies are in awe of him. I haven't seen that kind of love for a Gator player since Wuerfel and even then it wasn't on the same scale as it is now for Tebow. Living in TN I have tons of Vols fans as friends, imagine that? :-) Any way... There is very few of them that just can't stand Tebow. Especially the ones that are Christians have the utmost amount of respect for him and genuinely want to see him do well. Pretty awesome!
Thanks for sharing Helen.

However, a dear friend of my wife had an encounter with your quarterback Saturday morning. She has what could very easily be a terminal brain tumor. She is leaning on her faith in the Lord to get her through this and no matter the outcome, she is being extremely positive. She is only 26 and is having to deal with her own mortality. I can't imagine it is easy. Anyways, she has a live journal documenting her treatment and everything involved. She has a list of famous people she would like to meet or talk to before she dies. These include Oprah, Rick and Bubba, and of course Tim Tebow. She is from nearby Columbus, MSand noticed a bunch of charter buses outside the hotel in town. She thought she would go in and just see if that was the Gator team. Turns out it was, and she ran into their strength and conditioning coach in the lobby. She explained her situation to the coach and even took off her hat to prove it. She said all she wanted to do was meet Tim. The coach said 'give me five minutes.' Five minutes later, she was ushered to a small conference room. When she opened the door, there was college football's golden boy Tim Tebow. Tim was very glad to meet her.. He spent a good fifteen minutes talking to her about her treatment and her faith in God. I believe he even took a picture with her. I say all of this because in this day and age it is amazing that a Heisman Trophy winner, with two national titles and another possible one on the way, took time on game day to share a moment with a dear friend of ours who is dealing with a terrible illness. That is amazing. You guys have a great team. A great coach and great players everywhere. Your qb is phenominal and if at all possible this goes to further prove that he is an even better person. Gators, you have a good one and I just wanted to share that with you and let you know how much it meant to our dear friend. Take care and God bless. <>< love all, worship one Eugene G Peek III Peek & Cobb 501 Riverside Avenue, Suite 601 Jacksonville, Florida 32202 Telephone (904) 399-1609 Facsimile (904) 399-1615 Mobile (904) 219-1609 Email [email protected] NOTICE: This electronic message contains information that is confidential-personal and/or protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or attorney work product doctrine.
