A miracle in Death Valley

Related Topics: Brain damage, Motor skill

While Clemson fans were standing and screaming as loud as they could in Saturday’s win over Louisville, there was a miracle happening inside Memorial Stadium that has nothing to do with what was happening between the lines.

Logan Wires, a 16-year old honor student from Anderson, grabbed a hold of the railing that was in front of him during a key moment in the game and slowly pulled himself out of his chair so he could stand and cheer on his Tigers.

Wires suffers from cerebral palsy, which is caused by brain damage, usually caused by brain injury or abnormal development of the brain that occurs while a child’s brain is still developing — before birth, during birth, or immediately after birth.
