    Default Inspirational story of Dallas GK Chris Seitz, donated bone marrow for cancer patient

    http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/...help-save-life
    He donated bone marrow to a dying cancer patient during the season, while risking getting new contract with Dallas
    “Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.

    I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’

    And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”

    -Eduardo Galeano

    Thats an amazing story. He took such a big risk to do this and knowing he may not play again. He seems to really be a stand up person.

    DKMS told Seitz that because of the type of cancer his recipient had, the less invasive donation procedure his dad went through wasn't an option. Instead, Seitz would require surgery in which doctors would poke two holes in his lower back, then fish 32 needles through each of those holes to remove fresh marrow from the core of Seitz's bones. Doctors would then inject that marrow into the recipient.
    legendary class indeed
