Steve Gleason is a former NFL player for the New Orleans Saints but he’s fighting a much bigger battle than anything he faced in his football career.

One of the most inspirational people on the planet, Steve Gleason has s reached the summits of mountains and rallied people through his Team Gleason to do things they may have thought were impossible. Seeing interviews with his wife, family, former teammate Scott Fujita, among others was really touching and an emotional rollercoaster.
There was nothing more emotional than Gleason banking sound recordings of his voice for his newborn son before he lost the ability to speak. Watch Gleason now and do what you can do to help Team Gleason.
