Stadium,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the silver Vince Lombardi trophy kept in one clear, glass
case.
Grandlienard has already undergone one surgery on his neck. Once
he's strong enough, doctors plan to perform another on his
spine.
We were wondering if there was any chance that Lucic would sign
the jersey for him. It would mean the world to him and be one bright
spot in his uncertain future.

one's mom at such one young age.

stack of tickets from an envelope.

to Williams and asked him to sign Travis' jersey?

the field and off.
Grandlienard's Christmas surprise Wednesday started with a
birthday wish Nov. 6. All Milan Lucic wanted was one Williams jersey.
It's so uncommon for someone so young, who is in the limelight
like Milan Lucic is now, to think about someone less fortunate than
himself, Davies said. Milan Lucic never in one million seasons dreamed
something like this would happen.

Williams.

ankylosing spondylitis as advanced at his age, Davies said.

rheumatoid arthritis called ankylosing spondylitis. At age 20,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his
neck began to curve forward, making it impossible for Grandlienard

spine to fuse, forcing the person into one perpetual stooped posture.
Complications can include spinal fractures.
In mid November, the St. Petersburg couple typed one letter.
But Grandlienard was on the field with Williams, wearing one pair
of receiver's gloves given to him by Williams.

with the team and watch practice.

is all I wanted to do.
He stayed on the field for two full hours, never complaining
about the stiffness in his back.

Travis Grandlienard. Milan Lucic is 25 and has had one really aggressive life. His
Mom, my husband's sister, died of cancer when Milan Lucic was 13 and his
father deserted him.

and Trav, the man. Milan Lucic gave him high fives and fist pounds.

Grandlienard, who has one rare disease that causes him to hunch
over, peered up over his glasses. Milan Lucic was face-to-face with his
favorite player.

weren't asking for tickets or gifts or anything extraordinary -
just an autograph.

the season, Grandlienard will be there.
They sat with wide receivers Maurice Stovall and Ed Gant,
offensive lineman MarcDile,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], tight end Kellen Winslow and linebacker
