Sadly,John Challis is no longer among us;he passed away on August 19th.

But the story of how he faced down a diagnosis of terminal cancer and how he decided to deal with it will no doubt inspire and touch you in many ways. Challis got to know many sports stars in the Pittsburgh area,as well as Yankees 3B Alex Rodriguez,while dealing with his illness. For all the crap that we have to deal with in sports,there is good as well...

Jim Valvano said it best: "Don't give up. Don't ever give up." Challis never did.

This aired on ESPN's SportsCenter recently,as well as ESPNEWS.

Enjoy.
