Newton grants a wish for a cancer stricken teen

[Mr. Scot]

 

Matthew Bailey, a seventh grader from Iredell County, N.C., was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer earlier this year.

Soon after, a pastor from his church started looking for ways to make 10 of Matthew’s wishes come true.

Those wishes:

    Throw a football with Cam Newton

    Play H-O-R-S-E with Bobcats owner Michael Jordan

    Teebow with Tim Teebow

    Play a pick-up game with Kevin Durant

    Meet Johnny Manziel

    Go to the NCAA Final Four

    Visit Cameron Indoor Arena, meet Coach K

    Sit courtside for a Miami Heat game

    Go to the Super Bowl

    Go to an NBA Finals game

Over the last couple months, Matthew experienced No. 6, No. 7, and he’s getting closer to No. 3. On Thursday, he crossed off No. 1.

When a Panthers’ representative heard about the list a few weeks ago, he reached out to Newton, who was immediately interested.

Since he’s recovering from ankle surgery, he couldn’t throw a football with Matt, but Newton worked with his foundation to set up Thursday’s meeting. A caveat: Newton didn’t want cameras or media attention.
