"Don't EVER Give Up..."

At the 1993 ESPN Espy Awards, Jimmy Valvano gave one of the greatest speeches ever. With his body ravaged by cancer, he was a fountain of positive energy and inspiring words. He encouraged everyone to "laugh daily, think daily, and be moved to tears daily". What great advice from this incredible man! He urged us saying, "Don't give up, don't EVER give up". He never did. Even though, he would leave us just eight weeks after giving this speech. He reminded us that "Cancer can take away all my physical ability. It cannot touch my mind; it cannot touch my heart; and it cannot touch my soul. And those three things are going to carry on forever."

Enjoy this amazing speech from a truly incredible man!
