Ohio State fan with muscular dystrophy hoists Buckeyes' title trophy on the field
Posted Jan 13, 2015
It's easy to get caught up in all that ails college sports. There's plenty of things to get down about -- this we know. But we also know the positive impact it has on people as well. We know it can pull our heart strings just as much as it disheartens us. Which brings us to the story of 15-year-old Jacob Jarvis, a rabid Buckeyes fan from Ohio who just so happens to have Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder that results in muscle degeneration and unfortunately has no cure as of now. The average life expectancy is around 25 years old.
