Scott told the crowd, &#8220;When you die, that does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live and in the manner in which you live.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These powerful sentences left the crowd applauding in his name. Scott mentioned how he was hospitalized this past week as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As of Sunday, I didn&#8217;t even know if I&#8217;d make it here. I couldn&#8217;t fight. But doctors and nurses could. The people that I love and my friends and family &#8211; they could fight.&#8221; In Scott&#8217;s speech, he says how he couldn&#8217;t fight this battle without his support system by his side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He has an overwhelming amount of love in his corner, and he is beyond grateful for it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conclude his speech, he speaks on his daughters and how thankful he is for them. Scott said, &#8220;But Taelor and Sydni, I love you guys more than I will ever be able to express. You two are my heartbeat. I am standing on this stage here tonight because of you.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His speech is concluded with one of his daughters, Sydni, coming on the stage to give her father a hug. This act of love moved the crowd greatly and was the cherry on top of a beautiful speech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stuart Scott is a humble, deserving man who has made an impact on many people. This speech and the crowd&#8217;s reaction shows this much to be true. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stuart Scott, an ESPN anchor, moved the crowd at the ESPY&#8217;s last night with his insightful speech on living life to its fullest extent.
