“So, live. Live. Fight like hell.” Those words were delivered by Stuart Scott last night in a very heartfelt speech of his courageous fight against cancer.

Last night the sportscaster and anchor on ESPN, Stuart Scott, accepted the accepting the Jimmy v perseverance award. It is given to a deserving member of the sporting world who has overcome great obstacles through perseverance and determination.

Scott’s successful career was forced to take a back seat when he was first diagnosed with appendiceal cancer in November of 2007. This has been a big part of Scott’s life and he has found what he finds important in life “Every day I am reminded that our life’s journey is really about the people who touch us.”

Scott touched many people last night by his inspirational and emotional speech. It was made sure that the audience left with either a reminder or different perspective on life. It was reminded what is important in life and for Scott it is his two daughters.  He says, “I can’t ever give up because I can’t leave my daughters.” Afterwards one of his daughters joins him on stage to give a big and heartfelt hug.
