ESPN’s Sunday feature on Steve Gleason is appointment viewing

Everybody should know Steve Gleason’s story by now. The one-time WSU linebacker and savior of New Orleans was diagnosed with ALS 10 years ago and has become one of the world’s biggest advocates for ALS patients and a beacon of hope. He’s been awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, WSU’s Distinguished Alumnus Award, and has kept an amazing, positive attitude throughout his time with ALS.

On Sunday—Father’s Day—Gleason will once again inspire us. This time, it’ll be on SportsCenter for SC Featured, and it focuses on Gleason as a father. Here’s a teaser:

Sunday, #SCFeatured shares how @SteveGleason, who is living with ALS, gets a special #FathersDay surprise from his son
