Don't give up, don't ever give up.

These are the words of the late Jimmy Valvano.  If you've watched ESPN this week you know that it is Jimmy V week.  Jimmy Valvano was the coach of the North Carolina State basketball team in the 80's and early 90's.  He died from cancer.  He left a legacy that includes his Wolfpack team that had one of the greatest runs in NCAA tournament history and the V Foundation, which has donated more than $90 million to cancer research.

I will always remember his speech at the 1993 ESPY's.  It was very touching and inspirational.  I've included a link.
