Why Stuart Scott won

Posted Jan 6, 2015
Stuart Scott came to understand that beating cancer wasn't about the length of his life, as he had stated. Beating cancer was about how and why he lived. For him, that meant being with his daughters and training through mixed martial arts. For each moment he did what he wanted to do with his life without regard to cancer, he won. He won and won and won. The final score didn't matter. (Where the Ground Crackles)
