A true story about a boy who taught his Harper's Ferry community, and many others, what hope, determination, and honor can do.
Tyler Moore had Cystic Fibrosis, a genetic disease that effects a
child's ability to breathe, digest food, and fight infections. Most
children with Cystic Fibrosis never see their 20th birthday. All Tyler
wanted was to be a normal kid. Then he realized he might be part of
something that would remain forever. Tyler led his Junior high wrestling
team to 39 victories in one season, his team carried on for one more to
be the only Junior High in the State to ever win 40 matches in one
season. To do it, they had to fight prejudice, cheating the weather, and a curse! It's an inspiring story.
For me, it was a bit more personal. My next door neighbor's daughter
died from Cystic Fibrosis at 12 years old. These kids have to pack so
much living into every year. They truly shine from the inside out.
