8-year-old Michael Stolzenberg loved to play football and lacrosse. Like any other kid, Michael also loved to ride his bike and play video games. However, on July 22nd, 2008, Michael was bitten by a bug and his life was forever changed.
Michael was told that he'd die from the infection that he received from the bite. He was told that he wouldn't live. But, miraculously, he did. But in order for Michale to live, both of his hands and his feet had to be removed.
When Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat heard of the story, he personally took matters into his own hands. Wade took a day to visit Michael at his Florida home. That's when he noticed all of the sports souvenirs of the Miami, Heat that Michael had. But Wade noticed something; He noticed something missing. Michael didn't have a Miami, Heat Jersey.
Wade gives jersey to Michael Stolzenberg
So, at the end of the Miami-Memphis game, Wade took off his jersey, and gave it to Michael.
Here's what Wade had to say about the kid:
"He lights you up, the smiles on his face. He seems so happy."
It's really too bad that all of the stories that I write aren't like this one...
