30 For 30: Marcus Dupree

The Terry Fox "Into the Wind" episode is still my favorite 30 for 30.

The kid died of cancer a month short of his 23rd birthday but what he did while fighting it was inspiring as hell. His foundation has raised over $400 million for research since he died in 1981.

Yep. Hands down the best one so far. I've liked most of them, including the Reggie Miller one and even the George Steinbrener (sp?) one. Good stuff.

Fast forward Dupree twenty years and you have Maurice Clarett. Could of been great, listened to the wrong people and challenged the system only to lose. Loved the film I'm 36, too young to remember him, but I thought the story was well told and un-biased. Damn was he a beast!

That's a story that can been told in countless households across the country. But not everyone lives to tell it. And not everyone has the support system to overcome their problems.

For most deathly diseases, families are pulled closer together. Alcoholism and drug addiction pulls families apart. Fortunately for Chris Herren his sad story has miraculously turned around.

Good story. I remember him when I was a kid. Really happy to hear it looks like he made it through.

Sortof as an aside, this kind of story makes for one of my favorite kinds of book, movie, etc. How do you live with that sort of overwhelming regret?

sure did. what a life he has lived so far and his wife is a SAINT for sticking by his side that long.

Every Buckeye should have a wife like his. Every Wolverine should have one like my ex.
