Macy Fowler: A 15-year-old female football player fights cancer
Fifteen-year-old Macy Fowler is used to overcoming odds. After all, she's a starting linebacker for the freshman football team at Ravenwood High School in Brentwood, TN. In late fall Macy's world was rocked when she was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma cancer.
Macy's dad, former Tennessee Titan and New York Jets linebacker, Ryan Fowler, is also accustomed to overcoming the odds compete on the gridiron. But when Ryan has to watch his little girl battle a disease within her body, this tough guy's tender emotions are exposed.
Listen to our conversation as I talk to Macy and Ryan about how work ethic, hustle and intensity can help in the classroom, on the football field, or fighting cancer.
