LeGrand is up for an Award!

You’ve probably heard of Eric LeGrand, the Rutgers football player who was paralyzed from the neck down during a game in 2011. The media has followed his recovery process throughout the past year. In fact, we blogged about him a few months agoand were hopeful the athlete would walk again.

Well, LeGrand is making progress and actually posted pictures of himself standing on his own not too long ago.  You know we were happy campers when we saw this! But that isn’t the only reason he’s been in the news lately.

LeGrand has been nominated for the America’s Choice Honor For Courage in Sports award, which is solely determined by the fans. The winner will be announced on a one hour airing on CBS at 5 p.m. on November 13. We’ll keep our fingers crossed!
