Have not watched this in a few months. I love Jim Valvano. Cancer killed my dad about year before Jimmy V died. I hate cancer.

Remember three things, to laugh, to think, and to cry. He did it all in a couple of minutes. He's awesome.

The most amazing speech ever, such inspiration and hope while he's facing such a horrible disease. Never gets old listening to that.He summed up the meaning of life and just how important the little things are that we take for granted day in and day out, he is truly an inspirational hero.
