Amazing

I just watched an E:60 report on ESPN, and it was beyond inspiring. It is about a boy named Josiah who is 6 years old, and has Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria syndrome, which is an aging disease. (think Benjamin Button)

Josiah is a HUGE Phillies fan, and his dream in life was to play baseball. He got that wish this year, playing for his local little league. Then this June he got the chance to go to a Phillies game, meet his hero Ryan Howard along with a ton of other players, and swing a bat in the dugout. 

You have to watch the video from ESPN. And read the article!

Wow- I love this story. I love Josiah. I love baseball. I love Ryan Howard.

    That’s awesome. And I’m not just saying that because I’m a Phillies fan. (Even if they are fabulous.)
