00:00:00
2015 quote of the year. Can you remember
00:00:01
yours? The winning quote.
00:00:02
>> Yeah. The quote was, "None of us get out
00:00:04
of life alive." So, be gallant, be
00:00:06
great, be gracious, and be grateful for
00:00:08
the opportunities that you have.
00:00:09
>> October 29, 2015, you got this cancer
00:00:12
diagnosis. And the speech that we're
00:00:14
talking about that went viral, that was
00:00:15
on November 4, so like a week later and
00:00:17
day three of your chemotherapy.
00:00:18
>> Yeah, correct. I was so incredibly sick
00:00:21
at that time. I' sort of been throwing
00:00:23
up in the car on the way there. I've
00:00:24
been throwing up in the wings on side of
00:00:25
stage. I basically just felt that I
00:00:27
wanted to finish the year as strong as
00:00:28
I'd started. I felt like I owed it to
00:00:30
those young guys that I'd had the
00:00:31
privilege of leading over the course
00:00:32
[music] of that year.
00:00:32
>> Was the hucker at the end that you got
00:00:34
from your classmate. That's
00:00:36
powerful, isn't it?
00:00:37
>> It was honestly still to this day
00:00:38
probably the most powerful thing I've
00:00:39
ever experienced. It was incredibly
00:00:41
powerful.
00:00:51
>> [screaming]
