Andrew Fambrough is battling more than most 8-year-olds. In fact, it’s only been three weeks since doctors in Birmingham removed a brain tumor, an operation from which he’s still recovering.
But thanks to a few family friends with Alabama football connections, he received a special gift from Georgia head coach Kirby Smart to help brighten his spirits.
