As a lifelong WWE fan, Eric LeGrand was able to live his own WWE dreams this weekend as he was honored with the WWE Warrior Award. According to the WWE, the Warrior Award is presented to individuals with unwavering strength and perseverance. An inspiration to us all, LeGrand is in good company, as the award has also been presented to breast cancer survivor and former Good Morning America host, Joan Lunden and Conor Michalek, a WWE fan whose battle with pediatric cancer inspired the WWE to launch its Conor’s Cure charity.
Eric LeGrand’s life changed that fateful October day in 2010 when a headfirst tackle during a game against Army at MetLife Stadium left him paralyzed.
