After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last year, Life School parent Lanita Smith feared she would never see her son play football in-person again.
But, in the spirit of collaboration, three Life School coaches worked together to make her wish come true by providing special seating accommodations on the field for the Smith family. Lanita told how it was a moment they d never forget.
“I was so excited, I couldn’t believe it,” she teared up.
Since July, Lanita’s mobility deteriorated as the autoimmune disease changed her life drastically. Having turned 40, she described her condition as a “thorn in her side,” restricting her mobility to using a walker and a stride of a “95-year old woman.”
