We also take you to Rutgers University in New Jersey, where Lindsey Kayati competes as a tennis player even though she has epilepsy.

Kevin Kugler also has an update on the amazing story of Lauren Hill, a basketball player at Mount St. Joseph who continues to raise money and reach new personal goals – all while battling a rare and terminal form of brain cancer.
