A former University of Michigan star football player is battling multiple myeloma.
But Phil Brabbs, who gained fame for kicking a 44 yard just as time expired to give the Wolverines a 31-29 win over Washington in 2002, considers himself to be in the best shape of his life.
He is also a vegetarian.
“There are a lot of parallels that I use from that situation to what I’m facing now,” Brabbs said, according to mlive.com. “I missed the first kick, which was like when I got a blood clot. Then I missed my second one and got pulled, which was like when I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma.”
Brabbs started chemotherapy this week and is also up for a stem cell transplant.
Stay strong and eat well, Phil.
It’s never been more important.
