I think this will work (the globe with the chain in the icons sets up a link).

Wow. Thank you for posting that. A remarkable story about a remarkable kid (with great parents).
Here's a link to Tanner's Totes (http://tannerstotes.com/) website.

PS - Someone else bump up the Coach K story from the NYTimes.

Y'know, we get so wrapped up in the wins and losses and the fandom of it all.
We need to hear more about people like Tanner and we all need to wear more metaphysical clown noses once in a while.
Great story!

Great story!

I did my doctoral work at Clemson (Duke fan since '84) - I'll be rooting for Tanner every game.

To keep with the *good* vibes... here's a story about *high school* kids who show great maturity, sportsmanship, and compassion..,

I don't know if this compares with a 4-year old kid who has that feeling for his peers... but maybe it starts there... and continues to high school and beyond:)
