I was at the gym watching ESPN, as I plodded along on the treadmill, and was fortunate to see a short clip on Maurice Jones-Drew. If you don’t know who this young man is check him out…amazing story.
Born to Sidney Gayles and Andrea Drew, Jones-Drew was raised by his grandparents, Maurice and Christina Jones. At the height of his college career, his grandfather died of a heart attack while watching his grandson play at the Rose Bowl against Rice University. Dorrell broke the news to Drew on the sideline during the game, and he ran to the locker room and left to go to the hospital. To honor the man who raised him, he added Jones to his surname, making him “Maurice Jones-Drew.”
This is one inspired man. I ran faster on Saturday watching this guy’s story…find inspiration somewhere and watch out world!
