Role model for all of us?  Are you kidding?  Maybe you. 
 
that would kill me to be as nice as Tebow for just one whole day. 
 
I hurry up and try to get my good deed out of the way first thing in the morning - so that I can be myself the rest of the day.   Sometimes I walk old ladies across the street - even if they don't want to cross the street.  I get my good deed out of the way and they can find someone else to walk them back across to earn their good deed. 
 
BTW - I have a friend that works for Make A Wish foundation.  I was surprised it is as large and extensive as it is.  They must be doing very well. 
 
Anyways - she has the inside scoop on all the celebrities and says that Tebow is one of the few that really is as nice and giving as what you hear.  It is amazing all these types of stories that Tebow does. 
 
I need someone around to make up for me ...

He is an incredible role model for all of us.  He sets a high standard to emulate.

Tebow shares special day with fan

St. Petersburg Times
 
12:47 a.m. Friday, December 11, 2009
 
 
 
Lake Buena Vista, Fla. -- The loss to Alabama in Saturday's SEC title game still haunts Tim Tebow, and he suspects it will for quite some time.
 
But Thursday night, the Florida senior quarterback showed once again why he is so revered by Florida fans for what he does off the field.
 
Tebow walked the red carpet at the college football awards with Kelly Faughnan, a 20-year-old Gator fan from Virginia who is recovering from a brain tumor.
 
Tebow met the woman while attending a function at the Walt Disney World Resort on Wednesday night. Her final request before having surgery last December was to attend the football awards show, where she hoped to meet Tebow.
 
She was wearing an "I love Timmy" button, which caught the attention of an ESPN producer. Tebow was introduced to Faughnan, who also suffers from hearing loss and tremors, then spent nearly 45 minutes with her family.
 
"We got to meet and hang out," Tebow said at the end of his red carpet walk. "I asked her if she wanted to walk the red carpet with me, and so it was fun. She went and got this dress (Thursday)."
 
Tebow brought joy to Faughnan's evening, but that was about the only bright spot for the Gators. Tebow, cornerback Joe Haden, linebacker Brandon Spikes and punter Chas Henry were shut out of awards for which they were finalists.
 
Tight end Aaron Hernandez won the Mackey Award for the nation's best tight end, and Maurkice Pouncey won the Rimington for the nation's best center. But those awards were not part of the national telecast on ESPN.
 
Haden, who was up for the Jim Thorpe Award for best defensive back, said he will decide whether to forgo his senior season for the NFL before the Gators' Sugar Bowl game Jan. 1. But Thursday, he was just enjoying his time with some of the nation's best players.
