“I am so thrilled to be a coach for the Childrens Hospital Los Angeles team. I could be the team coach for Team Warner Brothers, or another well-known corporation, and it would be a great gig, but it wouldn’t have the same emotional impact that it does for me to give back to the people who work at this hospital where I received my care so long ago.

I had a great doctor, who’s name is Dr. J.Gordon McComb. He was very nice and the nurses there treated me very nice.

Since that operation I haven’t had any seizures and I just graduated from high school on June 7, 2009.

Other than an irregular heartbeat, I have lived a normal and full life. I’ve never had any physical limitations and I believe that the care I received at my young age, is to thank for that.

I thank God every day for my health and my children’s health and have always lived life to the fullest.

Thank you to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and Dr. Robert Stanton for everything you have done for me in my life.

“When I was sick, I knew I wanted to give back. I remember thinking ‘When I’m done with this, there’s going to be something that I can do for other people, some way that I can give back.’
