As the players of the Pensacola Catholic High School football team charged out onto the field for their final game of the season, one of them took a U-turn after emerging and ran up into the stands with a bouquet. This was 16-year-old Frank Calderon, who was running up to where his family was seated to deliver flowers to his surprised grandmother, Amparo.

This wasn’t just a sweet gesture but also him showing solidarity with his grandmother in her battle with breast cancer. “She’s always been there for me,” Calderon told ABC News. “She’s a strong woman. She’s beat [cancer] once. I think she can beat it again.”
