    University of Minnesota Football Player Overcomes Cancer Four Times to Earn 2019 Disney Spirit Award

    University of Minnesota Football Player Overcomes Cancer Four Times to Earn 2019 Disney Spirit Award University of Minnesota Football Player Overcomes Cancer Four Times to Earn 2019 Disney Spirit Award Growing up in St. Paul, MN., Casey O’Brien just wanted to play football and he wasn’t going to let anything stop him – not even four battles with cancer. His relentless pursuit of his athletic dreams and the uplifting hope he has given to countless other cancer patients while playing football for the University of Minnesota has earned him the 2019 Disney Spirit Award. O’Brien was presented with the coveted award – given annually by Disney Sports to college football’s most inspirational player, coach, team or figure – by Disney Sports Vice President Faron Kelley at The Home Depot College Football Awards on Dec. 12. The awards show, hosted by ESPN’s Chris Fowler, Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Maria Taylor and Tom Rinaldi, was televised live on ESPN from the Chik-fil- A College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta. “I’m thankful for every day that we get to spend together as a family – the good ones and the bad ones – because I know that tomorrow is never promised,’’ O’Brien said during a speech earlier this year. “All the tests, scans, blood work, chemotherapy, loss of hair and everything else that happens when you fight cancer have been worth it.’’ O’Brien, 20, first encountered cancer as a high school freshman when pain in his left knee was diagnosed as osteosarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer.
