CANCER. AND HE DIDN’T DO IT ALONE. LOOK AT THAT TODAY. BRADY’S BASEBALL TEAMMATES FROM NORTH READING HIGH LINED THE HALLS OF MASS GENERAL, HOLDING SIGNS CHEERING HIM ON AS HE RANG THE BELL NEXT TO HIS PARENTS.

DOCTORS DETERMINED HE HAD A RARE BRAIN TUMOR THAT WAS LARGE AND INOPERABLE BECAUSE OF WHERE IT WAS, HE TOLD US. IT’S HARD TO DESCRIBE WHAT HE FELT RINGING THAT BELL. I WALKED OUT AND WAS JUST GREETED WITH A WAVE OF SUPPORT AND LOVE, AND IT WAS SO ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. RIGHT NOW, I FEEL LIKE I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO DO EVERYTHING. I FEEL LIKE I JUST WANT TO RESUME LIFE. YOU KNOW IT. PICK UP RIGHT WHERE, RIGHT WHERE I LEFT OFF. AS YOU SHOULD. HE NEVER STOPPED DOING EVERYTHING. BEN LISTEN TO THIS. WHILE RECEIVING TREATMENTS, BRADY KEPT HIS HONOR ROLL STATUS. HE WAS THE BASEBALL TEAM MANAGER BECAUSE HE COULDN’T PLAY. HE SAYS DOING THAT GAVE HIM LIFE. IT HELPED HIM REBOUND FROM DEBILITATING EXHAUSTION FROM THOSE TREATMENTS. AND THIS WAS THE SWEETEST PART. HE SAID HE DIDN’T MIND GOING TO BOSTON SO OFTEN BECAUSE HE GOT TO DRIVE IN WITH HIS PARENTS.
