November 13, 2023 | | 1 Comment
Stuart Scott gave an inspiring and emotional speech after he accepted the Jimmy V Perseverance award at last night’s ESPYs.
Scott said that at first he did not feel as if he deserved the award, but realized that he has the platform to inspire others. Scott is going through a battle with cancer, and wants people to not take life for granted.
Scott said, “you beat cancer by how you live, while you live, and the manner in which you live.”
His message to the audience was to make the most out of the time that you have on this earth. It’s all about the journey of life and the impact you make on people while you are here.
Scott’s emotional and thought provoking speech left many in tears, but also inspired the audience to keep fighting no matter what you are going through.
Scott emphasized the importance of not giving up. He said, “I have a responsibility to not ever give up”. In his case, its about not giving up on his battle with cancer. He said that everyone has different battles that they are going through, but his message is the same for all.
