Memphis Quarterback’s Profound Moment With Child Cancer Patient

July 26, 2013

I’m not giving time to any negative or depressing news today. God knows it’s easy to go there. It invades our lives every day. However, it’s not every day we see a video like this; a video that is overwhelmingly genuine and heartfelt.

The description says it all:

Memphis quarterback Jacob Karam was recently at St. Jude Children’s Hospital volunteering, and ended up playing piano with some of the kids.

‪Dawn Howe’s eleven year old daughter Breanna is currently battling leukemia at St. Jude, but that didn’t stop her from singing her heart out with Jacob.

With Jake playing the piano, they performed an emotionally charged rendition of Jessie J’s hit single Price Tag

Great work Jacob. Breanna, you sound amazing. I wish both of you the very best; you both have amazing futures in front of you.
