EMOTIONS RUN HIGH AS DAMAR HAMLIN PRESENTS SERVICE AWARD AT THE ESPYS
Written by Ballzer on July 13, 2023
It’s a moment NFL fans will never forget. Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field after an explosive hit to his chest, later diagnosed with cardiac arrest. The world watched as medical staff sprung into action. Damar’s heart had stopped, but after administering CPR and a defibrillator, his heart started beating again, and he was rushed to the UC Medical Center. Miraculously, Damar made a full recovery and will play football this season. Unbelievable, and a genuine miracle.
Damar stood on stage at the ESPY Awards, honoring the Buffalo Bills training staff for saving his life.
I’m crying. Are you crying? So inspiring and I love what the trainer said. This tragic event brought our nation together, for a moment, and “showed the world the power of prayer.” He’s right. We need to remember, and embrace, that moment and use it for future events to save more lives.
