U.Va. Crew Team Gives Ailing Florida Teen 40 Big Sisters
This seems to be a day for uplifting U.Va. sports stories.
On the heels of an earlier ESPN.com article about U.Va. men’s lacrosse coach Dom Starsia comes another inspiring story, this one from U.Va. Athletic Media Relations.
It seems that U.Va. student Mary Willetts and her father heard about the plight of Katie Carr, a 13-year-old rower from Jacksonville, Fla., who is battling sarcoma, a form of cancer that may lead to the amputation of her arm — only the latest misfortune in a young life that seems to have been packed with them.
The Willetts sent e-mails to 40 college crew coaches, suggesting that they send notes of encouragement or other mementos to Carr.
U.Va. sent its whole team.
Once again, you just need to read the story.
