Steve Gleason was fashionably late to his annual birthday celebration and benefit on Thursday night.
Well, not really.
He simply wore a T-shirt with the words "Awesome ain't easy" printed across his chest.
And for Gleason, being awesome really isn't easy.
But despite battling ALS since 2011, he often makes it look easy, which explains why he made sure to attend his 6-year-old son Rivers' soccer game before arriving at his event to raise money for the disease he's lived with for the past seven years.
But if you know Gleason's story, you know he hasn't just lived with ALS.
