Football and friendship: How Dillan Gibbons made a family's dream for their son come true

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Timothy Donovan positioned his wheelchair just inside the rope line to get an unobstructed view for the Florida State pregame walk into Doak Campbell Stadium.

With temperatures in the 90s and high humidity stifling the air around him, Donovan wore a Florida State bucket hat and had a cooling fan draped around his neck for obvious reasons -- he was simply not used to this type of heat, or being outside for hours at a time, back home in Ohio.

But his friend Dillan Gibbons wanted him here, and Donovan wanted to be here, so the minor discomfort was really nothing.
