When she won two Olympic medals in the sport of softball, Dr. Dot Richardson vowed to take one of them around so that every child could wear it for a moment.

All of the kids loved the opportunity, but for Richardson, one particular child stood out. It was a young hospital patient who reminded her why it’s so important to pursue your passions, to remember what makes you special and to always remember the positive things in life. It’s a story that will make you tear up!
