He bends and grips the laces of the football, entering a unique lunge the moment before he snaps the ball between his legs.’ Carson Fox walks with a prosthesis on his left leg, extending above the knee.

“There’s always that one kid in the hospital bed that’s going through the same thing as you, and you’re inspiring them,” Shannon would say. He was known for beaming eyes, glinting golden hair, his full-speed-ahead attitude.
