@JamesConner_ really is the GOAT. FaceTimed me in 2019 during my bone marrow transplant. My dude showed me the light at the end of the tunnel when I couldnât see it for myself. Absolute legend.
A couple years ago James Conner was asked by Steelers ST coach Danny Smith if he would sign some gear for a friend whose daughter had cancer. That friend was GB ILB coach Kirk Olivadotti, who got to thank Conner this week. So great. (đĽ: @AZCardinals).

Celebrating 3 years cancer-free & post bone marrow transplant! Every day is a blessing, even more so with such great friends and family. No bad days!!. Give someone else the chance to celebrate too - go to @BeTheMatch and join the donor registry. You may save a life!

Itâs a hell of a lot easier with family like this âđ˝â¤ď¸đŞđ˝.
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Can't say how impressed and how proud I am of @CoachDovey to be going through treatments and keeping that smile on his face! And still being there for his Bulldog Family! #DoveyStrong #CSM #BleedBlue #FootballFamily
