Chapel Hill middle school athlete recovers from brain injury with help of UNC Football


Twelve-year-old Lee Fitch looks right at home competing for his Middle School basketball team in Chapel Hill. It’s hard to imagine that less than three years ago, Lee nearly died. And his recovery from a brain injury has been aided by an organization called Team Impact, which matches children facing serious illness and disability with college sports teams. (CBS 17)
