A Ladera Ranch teenager and cancer survivor will be honored in front of more than 90,000 football fans today at the Rose Bowl.
Eighth-grader Andrew Sprague will share his three-year battle with an aggressive form of leukemia and encourage the Rose Bowl crowd to participate in a text campaign to donate $10 for cancer research.
The 14-year-old said he isn't nervous at the prospect of appearing before the huge crowd.
“I am a little bit braver and have courage to get through things because I have already beaten cancer. I have already done the hardest part,” he said.
Sprague was chosen by event sponsor Northwestern Mutual and its childhood cancer research partner Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
