because i want to thank them.

My niece was diagnosed with cancer when she was 14. I had always tried to get her to a Clemson game but for the last 2 years she has been in and out of hospitals and in between various treatments. I got lucky when she was starting a new treatment plan and got to get her to SC for the UNC game.

She flew in Wednesday evening.

I contacted the athletic department and Coach Swinney graciously offered to take a few minutes out of his busy schedule to meet her on Thursday.



She was completely caught off guard and didn't know what had was happening until she was standing face to face with coach. He said a prayer for her, took some pictures, and gave her an autographed "Fight Light A Tiger" Tshirt.

Next we showed up early to tailgate. In spite of being a noon game i was determined to show her what tailgating at Clemson was all about.



Next we headed to the game to cheer on our tigers.


After the game we managed to run into a couple players who took a minute to take pictures.




When we got back to the tailgate she played with her cousins for awhile while i caught the end of the end of the FSU game.



The weather was perfect and i could not ask for a better day. I want to thank Coach, the players, and Clemson Nation for helping me show my niece what college football is all about and making her 1st Clemson game a truly special one. I think she took a little piece of what's in these hills back with her and god willing will come back for more.
